.24Often using aliases, Jean-Pierre, Eduardo, and Beau Serge,25 David was often seenwith Auguste Ricord at the Maison des Anciens Combattants Français, a well-knownhaven for international gangsters in Buenos Aires, Argentina.David was aninternational criminal at that time.In the 1960s he was wanted by the Frenchauthorities for murdering Paris Policeman Lieutenant Maurice Galibert26 who, whenhe was shot, was investigating the kidnapping and murder of Moroccan political exile,Mehdi Ben Barka.27 This indicates that Christian David was likely involved in BenBarka s death.Mehdi Ben Barka was a Moroccan revolutionary politician who lived in exile in Parisin the early Sixties.It was widely viewed that Ben Barka would soon be president forthe Republic of Morocco.When Morocco and Algeria had a brief war in 1963, BenBarka sided with Algeria and went into exile.He was subsequently accused of hightreason for an alleged plot against King Hassan II and was sentenced in absentia todeath.He moved to Paris and became leader-in-exile of the opposition to Hassan.OnOctober 29, 1965, Ben Barka disappeared.He was never found, and investigatorsconcluded that gangsters were paid to kidnap and murder him.It was suggested 86several times that the plot was headed by General Muhammad Oufkir, Hassan'sminister of the interior.The Ben Barka affair created a political crisis for thegovernment of French President Charles de Gaulle and led to ruptured diplomaticrelations between France and Morocco for almost four years.28In the spring, summer, and fall of 1972, the governments of South and CentralAmerican were working with the Nixon administration to stop heroin from beingsmuggled into the United States.In October 1972 the Brazilian federal police arrestedDavid and Nicoli along with several other Brazilian underworld figures.Most of themwere using false identity papers.David, Nicoli, and another Frenchmen weretransported by air to federal police headquarters in Brazilia, the nation s capital,where Brazilian police interrogated them in a manner that has made Brazil notoriousthroughout the world.29David was stripped of his clothing and hung upside down in the interrogation cell.Heclaimed he was tortured with electric shocks applied to his testicles and the head ofhis penis.Evidently he did not talk; however, the torture became so severe that heattempted suicide by swallowing a light bulb rather than undergo more.He later cuthis wrists with glass fragments.After that he walked bowlegged from the pain.30 Thiswas the Christian David that the world saw in Nigel Turner s documentary, The MenWho Killed Kennedy a man of 58 using a walker who appeared to be closer to 80.Ultimately David was extradited to the United States, along with Auguste Ricord, forheroin smuggling.This was part of the Nixon administration s war on drugs.Davidwas taken to a Brooklyn courthouse where his bail was set at $2.5 million.Within twoweeks federal judge Jacob Mishler sentenced David to twenty years in prison forsmuggling half a ton of heroin into the United States.In addition, the trial revealedDavid s ties to the French intelligence service known as Service d Action Civique(SAC).His tri-colored SAC ID was placed on display as he explained: "I was takenfrom prison in 1961 to work for an organization called SAC.It was arranged bysomeone with connections in the highest political circles." He also commented on hisincarceration in Brazil: "I was tortured by the Brazilians for thirty days and fednothing for twenty-six days.They stole my money.Today I can t afford a lawyer, Ihaven t a cent."31Michel NicoliMichel Nicoli was the man who corroborated Christian David s claim, in The MenWho Killed Kennedy, that Lucien Sarti and two other "unnamed" Corsican assassinsshot and killed President Kennedy; and that Sarti, while dressed as a police officerstanding behind the picket fence on the grassy knoll, shot Kennedy in the head usingan exploding bullet.Michel Nicoli was the same age as Christian David; born in about 1929.He was about33 or 34 years old when President Kennedy was killed on November 22, 1963.32 Hewas Christian David s deputy in Auguste Ricord s drug cartel.David, as stated before,was Ricord s personal bodyguard and became one of Ricord s top four lieutenants aswell. 87Nicoli was quite different from Ricord s violent lieutenants, Christian David, LucienSarti, François Chiappe, and Jean-Paul Angeletti, in that he was far less lethal;although he carried a gun from time to time for protection.In his line of work, thiswas not unwise; however, Nicoli was quite sophisticated and a smooth convincingtalker, which made him an excellent witness as Steve Rivele pointed out in The MenWho Killed Kennedy [ Pobierz caÅ‚ość w formacie PDF ]
