Georges Figon was the French crook that arranged the meeting with Barka in the Brasserie Lipp. Later he told L'express that he had seen who killed Barka. He accused General Oufkir whom he saw kill Barka. Before the second trial Figon was found dead in his apartment, according to official records by suicide. But there were some loose ends and suicide was the easiest way to explain what happened. In the book of Henrik Kruger, the great heroin coup, the author tells that the one who shot and thusfar killed Figon, was Christian David.
