Georges Figon (died, on January 17, 1966) was a French
freelance barbouze (secret agent) who arranged the meeting with
Mehdi Ben Barka in the
Brasserie Lipp in Paris. He later told
L'Express that he knew who killed Barka and accused
General Oufkir whom he had seen torturing him. On 17 January 1966, before the second trial, Figon was found shot dead in his apartment. Official records ruled death by suicide. In
The Great Heroin Coup by Henrik Kruger, the author claims that Christian David shot and killed Figon.
