Structured events are separated from general biography so a later audit can change a date, conviction, killing, organizational split or court outcome without rewriting unrelated portions of the page.

Date not specified in current profile sources — La Castellane trafficking trial. principal convicted defendant

Status and record

The structured birth record lists circa 1982. The structured life-status field is alive. This administrative value should change only when a reliable current source supports an update.

Source record

The Master package currently attaches these sources to the profile: – Procès de La Castellane : huit ans de prison pour le chef du réseau — Le Monde, Tier 2.

The presence of a source does not mean it supports every sentence. Claim-level source references remain in the structured data for later audits.

Evidence and editorial boundaries

For living subjects in particular, legal status and allegations require dated evidence. Future expansion should therefore come from stronger records, court material, archival documents or newly processed canonical entities rather than generalized crime lore.

How this profile fits the archive

The source package currently includes Procès de La Castellane : huit ans de prison pour le chef du réseau. Those records define the safe editorial boundary for this version of the page. Unknown dates and unresolved associations remain explicit because a missing fact is a research task, not permission to speculate.

Research state

This depth pass expands the page from structured evidence already present in the Master. The next meaningful improvement should be a stronger primary source, a dated event, a verified legal-status change, a prison record, or a newly processed Book, Screen or Organization entity that creates a legitimate reverse link.

Media remains a separate completion gate. A portrait should be attached only after source page, provenance and reuse status are checked. Until then, text can be complete while media remains pending.
