Wilson actually existed above the law. This is after J. Edgar Hoover died at the age of 77.
...Wilson was eventually indicted (click here) by the Department of Justice. However, he had moved to Libya and Moammar Gaddafi refused to extradite him. Wilson feared for his safety and the prosecutors knew this and in 1982 they sent Ernest Keiser to convince him that he would be safe in the Dominican Republic. Wilson flew to the Caribbean but upon arrival was arrested and flown to New York....
You wonder how this all happened. Wilson had no conscience. Self appointed vigilante to kill and eliminate dissidents.
Webster. He was the director of the FBI during these years. He is a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Group today. Webster never lifted a finger to know what was going on here?

After two decades in prison, Wilson finally got the conviction overturned, convincing a judge that he had continued to work informally for the agency....
