1975: CIA Settles with Family of Doctor Killed in Drug Experiments
🇦🇴

On December 19, 1975, while the Senate voted on Angola, the Olsson family accepted $1.25 million in restitution for the death of Dr. Olsson in CIA drug experiments. The money came from the U.S. taxpayer. The perpetrators of the crime, the directors of the CIA, the chief of the Technical Services Division, and the scientists involved, were never punished. They served out their careers, receiving promotions and awards until they retired. After retirement they continued to draw government pensions of up to $20,000 per year.
