Xavier Justo-- Swiss 'Whistleblower' or Bad guy?

1. In my continuing investigation of the Malaysian 1MBD detraction, new info has emerged that showcases an intricate internet of intrigue, subterfuge and also corruption entailing the intended 'Whistleblower' Xavier Andre Justo and also a Swiss district attorney. Mr. Justo, a former top-level employee of PetroSaudi International SA, was jailed in Thailand for taking a data source from his former employer that damaged the rumor. A Swiss district attorney that himself is presently under examination for political corruption with a 'Conflict of Interest' attached to the case and a litany of various other varied actors a lot more proper of a Hollywood thriller than reality circumstances. In my last post I reported on the 1MBD detraction's effect in Canada. In 2012, Malaysia's state-owned power business Petronas got Canada's Progress Energy for a reported $5.5 billion. At the time it was just one of Malaysia's largest international financial investments. Offered the fact that the 1MBD rumor damaged following Petronas's aggressive entry to Canada's oil and also gas market, I began investigating and reporting on the effects that corrupt international capitalists from developing nations, such as Malaysia, might have in Canadian personal market sectors. I decided to concentrate originally on the major person attributed with 'breaking' the tale of the IMBD scandal - Xavier Andre Justo. Getting to the bottom of this complex event has actually been testing. Simply put, the center monitoring of the firms involved in the 1MBD detraction, Najib Razak are for the most part, terrified to speak with reporters. Additionally, the leading tier executives of these firms will also not take place the record. Recently, I ultimately located a disgruntled former exec of PetroSaudi International in addition to 2 former friends of Mr. Justo's that were all kind enough to offer me some sorely required background on the 'life and also times' of Xavier Justo. The former Executive of PetroSaudi International talked to me on problem of anonymity and also offered me with records, duplicates of text messages and also various other material to sustain his claims that Xavier Justo, far from being a 'kind deed doer', remains in fact he is a con-artist who delights in the good life as well as has a narcotics abuse problem that includes "hefty drinking and also a lot of cocaine." I am currently verifying the product given to us concerning Mr. Justo and will certainly be publishing more excerpts quickly. He likewise bitterly berated PetroSaudi International for permitting Mr. Justo to climb in the business ranks regardless of his widely known partying way of life. These claims were also validated by the two previous good friends of Mr. Justo, that were both jilted by him in personal lendings that were never ever paid back. In February of this year, PetroSaudi International's CEO Tarek Essam Ahmad Obaid, company Supervisor Patrick Andrew Marc Mahony, and Malaysian shady 'businessman' Reduced Taek Jho were all prosecuted in Malaysia by the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Compensation) over the 1MBD scandal. At the time, MACC proudly revealed this in a press release and that all 3 accused had actually been put on Interpol's 'Red Watch Checklist'. After an intensive week of examining the claims and also counterclaims in between Mr. Justo and PetroSaudi International, my research group as well as I have wrapped up that Mr. Justo is a severe opportunist with a previous criminal history who used his crucial setting at PetroSaudi International and also his close relationship

2. with Chief Executive Officer Tarek Obaid, to his own benefit and that the 'traditional media was misleaded by his effort to make himself resemble an innocent 'whistleblower'. Along with this, after inspecting Interpol's online 'Red Alert 'database it has been confirmed that neither Mr. Obaid neither Mr. Mahony have actually been placed on Interpol's 'Red Watch Checklist" and that they are not 'desired fugitives' as suggested by many media outlets. My investigation of Mr. Justo as well as from our sources kept in mind above, confirmed that he has no official college education and learning and that during the mid-2000's, he had ownership passions in some shady clubs in Geneva. In 2006 Mr. Justo was apprehended by Swiss Federal Authorities for opening and handling an account of a popular Spanish contraband criminal gang. The account was iced up for criminal beginning of funds as well as money laundering by the Geneva Financial Criminal Activity Authorities. Mr. Justo was held for over 18 hours as well as was only launched after he, according to former close friends, gave statement against the participants of the criminal gang he was helping. Surprisingly, he was released without charges. PetroSaudi International's CEO Tarek Obaid, is a twin citizen of Switzerland and Saudi Arabia and also finished from Georgetown University's distinguished College of Foreign Service. Before the 1MBD scandal Mr. Obaid had actually never ever been charged with a crime in any type of nation. According to the previous PetroSaudi International Exec and former buddies of Mr. Justo that I spoke to, Mr. Obaid satisfied Mr. Justo on a basketball court when he was a 15-year-old that just come in to Switzerland. They struck up a deep friendship as Justo himself is an offspring of immigrant parents. Justo served as an advisor to Mr. Obaid, his peer in organisation and also life in Switzerland throughout both of their youths. Years later on, Mr. Obaid gave Mr. Justo lower degree tasks to assist him maintain himself and his household as a result of Mr. Justo's regrettable financial situations. In these jobs Mr. Justo was used in numerous settings as a concierge, an automobile valet and taking care of tiny petty cash purchases for Mr. Obaid's office and relative. The mainstream media portraits of Mr. Justo being an 'International Banker' is false; while he did operate in a number of banks as a low-level clerk, he was never ever a 'lender' neither has he held any type of senior placement in any Swiss or various other EU financial institution. He also doesn't have the appropriate education and learning or training for that kind of work. From files that we are still evaluating, it is clear he stopped working to open a bank account in a number of countries to receive the payment for the taken data, which provide his claim to be an 'International banker' in a ridicules light. Xavier Andre Justo individual life was, as we were informed, highly unstable. Mr. Justo was married to Daphné Smits for some years. According to pals of Mr. Justo, while he functioned as a clerk at Banque Scandinave en Suisse (BSS) in Geneva, he had sex-related experiences with his Manager's better half. A few months later Mr. Justo supposedly had an additional affair with the better half of his friend and also was caught in the act. Therefore, his other half Daphné separated him as well as took all his cash. After that Justo started a charming partnership with Laura (his current partner) who he met when she was an assistant at the business where he was working at the

3. time. In the meantime, Mr. Justo obtained greatly depressed as well as hesitated of revenge by the contraband criminal gang. Mr. Justo, and also his after that sweetheart, Laura ran away to Thailand and also according to a former buddy, "stole all https://www.washingtonpost.com/newssearch/?query=Xavier Justo the money from his Mom's checking account to pay for the trip" After being in Thailand for a number of months, Mr. Justo contacted Mr. Obaid and informed him he was suffering from a lack of earnings and was "desperate" to sustain his family members. In mid-2010, Mr. Obaid determined to give Mr. Justo another possibility and provided him a new work with PetroSaudi International in London on the condition that Mr. Justo devote to quit his habitual drug routine and alcoholic abuse. Mr. Justo readily concurred. With a substantial income package of 400,000 British Pounds per year that consisted of a totally paid luxurious house in Mayfair, Mr. Justo's life took a turn for the better and his occupation was back on the right track. Mr. Obaid, that extremely relied on Mr. Justo his childhood pal, was concentrated on growing his international operations as well as needed somebody in London he might depend authorize corporate papers on his part, conduct routine office banking as well as various other ordinary administrative functions when Mr. Obaid was not in the area. Additional examinations of Mr. Justo's and also Mr. Obaid's connection disclose the incredible count on that the previous put into the last. From the countless files we are currently confirming, among them is a genuine duplicate of Mr. Justo's employment contract with PetroSaudi International (listed below). One of the former friends of Mr. Justo's that I interviewed stated that he could not think that Xavier had been given such a high level salary and trust in that company (PetroSaudi International) ... I remember one time we were hanging out at Zumas in Knights Bridge and he spent for our dish and all the bevi's on a company credit card ... the bill was horrendous ...". The former PetroSaudi International Exec we talked to confirmed that within the company Mr. Justo was understood to regular expensive London haunts in Knightsbridge and also Covent Garden two of London's most special areas. (Zuma is a pricey Japanese restaurant). The previous Executive additionally added that he recommended Mr. Obaid several times regarding Mr. Justo's social actions and ballooning expense accounts but that he (Mr. Obaid) "wouldn't become aware of it ... Tarek trusted this guy considering that he was a kid however never really understood him ... Mr. Obaid was premature, and had negative judgment when it pertained to childhood years pals, it caused a lot of tension in the workplace ... it was so damn foolish ... I could not take it any longer.". Mr. Justo got a 3-year prison sentence in Thailand in 2015 after being convicted of extortion, blackmailing and theft of PetroSaudi International's data source. A criminal offense he easily confessed to.

4. According to court statement and also proof provided by numerous witnesses, Mr. Justo's work performance seriously deteriorated in late 2010 with numerous absences and alcoholic binges that consisted of inappropriate behavior in the office. Then initially of April 2011 he missed a flight from London to New york city city where he was due to fulfill a major client in addition to the shareholders of PetroSaudi International. Witnesses later on validated that Mr. Justo was high up on cocaine and also highly intoxicated the night prior to the flight. When he stopped working to appear to the meeting in New york city, he was peremptorily rejected from his placement. It was later validated via a forensic examination that Mr. Justo took PetroSaudi International's data source as well as made the last download of the 90Gb data 24h after he was discharged over the phone. This is the day that the 1MBD scandal started. Xavier Andre Justo's criminal actions as well as indulgent drug habit triggered the world's most significant monetary detraction, brought down the Malaysian government, launched criminal proceedings in Switzerland, Singapore, the EU as well as the United States as well as set you back the Malaysian individuals billions of bucks. It is time the complete fact emerges on this story. With this thought in mind, I will certainly be publishing more posts over the coming days and also weeks concerning the 1MBD scandal and also publishing 'never-seen-before' documents that will certainly give my readers a clear understanding on just how a reduced level worker, who had a habitual drug and alcohol misuse problem, had the ability to ignite among the largest financial scandals in contemporary history.
