Xavier Justo-- Swiss 'Whistleblower' or Lawbreaker?

1. In my proceeding examination of the Malaysian 1MBD rumor, brand-new details has actually emerged that showcases a complicated internet of intrigue, subterfuge and corruption involving the intended 'Whistleblower' Xavier Andre Justo as well as a Swiss district attorney. Mr. Justo, a former high-level worker of PetroSaudi International SA, was jailed in Thailand for taking a data source from his former company that damaged the detraction. A Swiss district attorney who himself is presently under investigation for political corruption with a 'Problem of Rate of interest' connected to the situation and also a litany of other varied stars much more befitting of a Hollywood thriller than the real world conditions. In my last article I reported on the 1MBD scandal's effect in Canada. In 2012, Malaysia's state-owned power business Petronas acquired Canada's Progression Energy for a reported $5.5 billion. At the time it was one of Malaysia's largest international investments. Offered the fact that the 1MBD scandal damaged just after Petronas's aggressive entryway to Canada's oil and gas industry, I started researching and reporting on the ramifications that corrupt international investors from establishing countries, such as Malaysia, might have in Canadian personal market sectors. I made a decision to concentrate originally on the primary person attributed with 'breaking' the story of the IMBD rumor - Xavier Andre Justo. Getting to the bottom of this facility affair has been testing. Basically, the center management of the firms associated with the 1MBD scandal, are for the most part, frightened to speak with reporters. Furthermore, the top rate executives of these business will certainly likewise not go on the document. Recently, I lastly discovered a disgruntled former exec of PetroSaudi International in addition to 2 former buddies of Mr. Justo's who were all kind enough to provide me some sorely required background on the 'life and times' of Xavier Justo. The former Exec of PetroSaudi International talked to me on problem of privacy and likewise gave me with documents, duplicates of text messages and also various other material to support his insurance claims that Xavier Justo, much from being a 'kindness doer', is in fact he is a con-artist who appreciates the good life and also has a narcotics abuse condition that consists of "hefty alcohol consumption as well as a great deal of cocaine." I am currently verifying the material given to us regarding Mr. Justo and also will be publishing more passages quickly. He likewise bitterly lambasted PetroSaudi International for permitting Mr. Justo to increase in the firm rates regardless of his popular partying way of living. These claims were likewise verified by the two previous friends of Mr. Justo, who were both jilted by him in personal finances that were never ever repaid. In February of this year, PetroSaudi International's CEO Tarek Essam Ahmad Obaid, company Supervisor Patrick Andrew Marc Mahony, as well as Malaysian shady 'business person' Reduced Taek Jho were all fingered in Malaysia by the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Compensation) over the 1MBD scandal. At the time, MACC proudly introduced this in a news release and that all 3 charged had been placed on Interpol's 'Red Watch List'. After an extensive week of investigating the insurance claims and also counterclaims in between Mr. Justo as well as PetroSaudi International, my study group and I have ended that Mr. Justo is an extreme opportunist with a prior criminal history that used his key position at PetroSaudi International as well as his close friendship with CEO Tarek Obaid, to his very own advantage which the 'mainstream media was deceived by his effort to make himself look like an innocent 'whistleblower'. In addition to this, after checking Interpol's online 'Red Alert 'data source it has actually been validated that neither Mr. Obaid nor Mr. Mahony have actually been put on Interpol's 'Red Watch List" and that they are not 'wanted fugitives' as recommended by lots of media outlets. My examination of Mr. Justo and from our sources kept in mind above, validated that he has no formal university education and learning which during the mid-2000's, he had possession passions in some dubious clubs in Geneva. In 2006 Mr. Justo was detained by Swiss Federal Police for opening and also managing an account of a widely known Spanish contraband criminal gang. The account was iced up for criminal origin of funds and also money laundering by the Geneva Financial Criminal Offense Police.

2. Mr. Justo was held http://query.nytimes.com/search/sitesearch/?action=click&contentCollection&region=TopBar&WT.nav=searchWidget&module=SearchSubmit&pgtype=Homepage#/Xavier Justo for over 18 hrs and was just launched after he, according to former close friends, provided statement against the participants of the criminal gang he was helping. Surprisingly, he was launched without charges. PetroSaudi International's Chief Executive Officer Tarek Obaid, is a dual citizen of Switzerland as well as Saudi Arabia and graduated from Georgetown University's distinguished College of Foreign Service. Before the 1MBD scandal Mr. Obaid had actually never been charged with a criminal offense in any type of country. According to the former PetroSaudi International Exec as well as former pals of Mr. Justo that I talked with, Mr. Obaid met Mr. Justo on a basketball court when he was a 15-year-old that just come in to Switzerland. They struck up a deep relationship as Justo himself is a descendant of immigrant parents. Justo acted as an advisor to Mr. Obaid, his peer in company and also life in Switzerland during both of their youths. Years later, Mr. Obaid provided Mr. Justo lower degree work to help him sustain himself and also his family members as a result of Mr. Justo's regrettable economic circumstances. In these tasks Mr. Justo was employed in different positions as a doorman, an auto valet and also managing little petty cash acquisitions for Mr. Obaid's workplace and also family members. The mainstream media portraits of Mr. Justo being an 'International Banker' is false; while he did operate in a couple of banks as a low-level staff, he was never a 'lender' neither has he held any elderly setting in any kind of Swiss or other EU bank. He likewise doesn't have the appropriate education and learning or training for that type of work. From papers that we are still reviewing, it is clear he stopped working to open up a bank account in numerous countries to get the payment for the taken information, which offer his insurance claim to be an 'International banker' in a ridicules light. Xavier Andre Justo individual life was, as we were informed, extremely unstable. Mr. Justo was married to Daphné Smits for some years. According to friends of Mr. Justo, while he functioned as a staff at Banque Scandinave en Suisse (BSS) in Geneva, he had sex-related experiences with his Boss's partner. A couple of months later Mr. Justo purportedly had one more event with the wife of his buddy as well as was caught in the act. As a result, his partner Daphné divorced him and took all his cash. Then Justo began an enchanting partnership with Laura (his existing other half) who he met when she was an assistant at the business where he was operating at the moment. In the meantime, Mr. Justo obtained heavily clinically depressed and also was afraid of revenge by the contraband criminal gang. Mr. Justo, and his after that girlfriend, Laura escaped to Thailand as well as according to a former buddy, "swiped all the cash from his Mommy's savings account to pay for the trip" After remaining in Thailand for a number of months, Mr. Justo spoke to Mr. Obaid and informed him he was suffering from a lack of income and also was "hopeless" to support his family members. In mid-2010, Mr. Obaid chose to give Mr. Justo one more possibility and also supplied him a brand-new work with PetroSaudi International in London on the problem that Mr. Justo commit to stop his habitual cocaine habit as well as alcoholic abuse. Mr. Justo readily agreed. With a large income bundle of 400,000 British Pounds per year that consisted of a totally paid deluxe apartment in Mayfair, Mr. Justo's life deviated right as well as his career was back on track. Mr. Obaid, who very trusted Mr. Justo his childhood years friend, was focused on expanding his global operations as well as needed somebody in London he could trust to authorize business papers on his behalf, conduct regular workplace banking and also various other mundane administrative functions when Mr. Obaid was not in the area. Further examinations of Mr. Justo's and also Mr. Obaid's partnership expose the extraordinary trust fund that the former put into the latter.

3. From the countless records we are presently confirming, among them is an authentic duplicate of Mr. Justo's employment agreement with PetroSaudi International (listed below). One of the former close friends of Mr. Justo's that I spoke with specified that he could not think that Xavier had actually been given such a high level income and also count on that company (PetroSaudi International) ... I bear in mind once we were hanging out at Zumas in Knights Bridge and also he spent for our dish and all the bevi's on a firm charge card ... the expense was outrageous ...". The previous PetroSaudi International Executive we spoke with verified that within the firm Mr. Justo was known to regular expensive London haunts in Knightsbridge as well as Covent Garden two of London's the majority of special areas. (Zuma is an expensive Japanese restaurant). The former Exec likewise included that he suggested Mr. Obaid numerous times about Mr. Justo's social behavior and also ballooning expense accounts but that he (Mr. Obaid) "would not become aware of it ... Tarek trusted this individual because he was a kid but never ever really knew him ... Mr. Obaid was immature, and also had bad judgment when it involved childhood pals, it caused a great deal of stress in the office ... it was so damn stupid ... I couldn't take it anymore.". Mr. Justo got a 3-year prison sentence in Thailand in 2015 after being convicted of extortion, blackmailing as well as theft of PetroSaudi International's data source. A criminal offense he conveniently confessed to.

4. According to court statement and also proof offered by countless witnesses, Mr. Justo's job performance seriously deteriorated in late 2010 with several absences as well as alcoholic binges that consisted of inappropriate behavior in the office. After that at first of April 2011 he missed out on a flight from London to New York city where he resulted from meet a major customer in addition to the investors of PetroSaudi International. Witnesses later on confirmed that Mr. Justo was high up on cocaine and also very intoxicated the evening prior to the trip. When he stopped working to show up to the conference in New york city, he was summarily rejected from his setting. It was later on verified via a forensic examination that Mr. Justo swiped PetroSaudi International's data source and made the last download of the 90Gb information 24h after he was terminated over the phone. This is the day that the 1MBD scandal started. Xavier Andre Xavier Justo Justo's criminal activities as well as indulgent drug habit sparked the globe's biggest financial rumor, lowered the Malaysian federal government, initiated criminal procedures in Switzerland, Singapore, the EU and the United States and also cost the Malaysian individuals billions of dollars. It is time the full fact comes to light on this tale. With this thought in mind, I will certainly be uploading even more posts over the coming days and also weeks about the 1MBD rumor and posting 'never-seen-before' documents that will certainly provide my readers a clear understanding on how a reduced degree worker, that had a habitual alcohol and drug misuse issue, was able to spark among the biggest financial detractions in modern history.
