Belonged to one of the groups of the so-called "Marseille Mafia" . He participated in the drug trafficking system from Turkey through Corsica and Marseille to the United States, known as the French Connection , by which by 1970 80% of the heroin consumed was delivered to the United States. He was the henchman of the Marseille bandit Auguste Ricore (known as "Mr. Heroin"), one of the organizers of transocean drug trafficking [1] .
He was killed in a shootout with Mexican police during a raid. According to Danish journalist Henrik Krueger , author of The Great Heroin Coup: Drugs, Intelligence and International Fascism, Sarti was one of the victims of the heroin revolution of the 1970s, and was eliminated by corrupt police during the struggle to redistribute the market and oust the Marseilles from drug trafficking, came under the control of the Sicilians, acting through Santo Trafficante [1] [2] .
In 2007, an autobiography of a former CIA officer , E. Howard Hunt , a participant in the Watergate scandal , was claimed posthumously alleging that John F. Kennedy was the victim of a conspiracy led by Vice President Lyndon Johnson. [3] Hunt's son in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine told the details that his father allegedly told him before his death. According to him, one of the perpetrators of the assassination was Lucien Sarty, who shot from a grass hill, and, possibly, fired a mortal shot in the head [4] [5] [6] .
Hunt's dying confession caused some sensation, but the information he provided was unprovable due to a lack of documentary evidence and the death of the suspects. However, Robert J. Groden , a prominent conspiracy theorist who worked as a photo consultant at the United States Special Assassination Commission , investigated the murders of John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King in 1976-1978, and concluded that at least two were fired on the president shooters from different positions, supported the Hunt version [7] .
In an interview with AiF Groden stated:
Frenchman Lucien Sarty, the highest-paid killer in the world, who worked for the largest network of drug dealers, shot Kennedy. And, of course, not from the window of the building, but precisely from the front, from the side of the wooden fence.
