As Director of Central Intelligence, Helms was boss of the Technical Services Division, whose Chemical Division was headed up by Sidney Gottlieb. The family of Stanley Glickman took unsuccessful legal action against the CIA in this regard,[4] which was hampered by Helms' 1973 decision just before leading as DCI to order the complete destruction of all documents regarding the CIA's Project MKUltra. In 1977 it transpired that around the purge had missed about 20,000 documents about the accounts since they had been wrongly located at the time.
Helms was found guilty of lying to congress about covert operations in relation to the overthrow of Salvador Allende in 1973[5] and given a 2 year suspended sentence.[1]
