Xavier Justo-- Swiss 'Whistleblower' or Lawbreaker?

1. In my continuing investigation of the Malaysian 1MBD detraction, brand-new info has arised that showcases a complex web of intrigue, subterfuge as well as corruption entailing the supposed 'Whistleblower' Xavier Andre Justo and a Swiss district attorney. Mr. Justo, a previous high-level staff member of PetroSaudi International SA, was incarcerated in Thailand for swiping a database from his previous company that damaged the detraction. A Swiss prosecutor that himself is presently under examination for political corruption with a 'Conflict of Passion' linked to the instance and a list of other diverse stars a lot more proper of a Hollywood thriller than the real world scenarios. In my last article I reported on the 1MBD rumor's effect in Canada. In 2012, Malaysia's state-owned power firm Petronas got Canada's Development Energy for a reported $5.5 billion. At the time it was just one of Malaysia's largest foreign financial investments. Offered the truth that the 1MBD detraction broke following Petronas's aggressive entry to Canada's oil as well as gas industry, I began researching and reporting on the implications that corrupt foreign capitalists from creating nations, such as Malaysia, might have in Canadian private market sectors. I determined to concentrate at first on the main person attributed with 'breaking' the story of the IMBD scandal - Xavier Andre Justo. Getting to the bottom of this complex affair has actually been challenging. Put simply, the middle management of the firms associated with the 1MBD rumor, are for the most part, terrified to talk to journalists. Additionally, the leading tier execs of these firms will additionally not take place the record. Recently, I ultimately found a dissatisfied previous executive of PetroSaudi International as well as two former good friends of Mr. Justo's who were all kind enough to provide me some sorely needed history on the 'life as well as times' of Xavier Justo. The previous Exec of PetroSaudi International talked with me on condition of anonymity as well as also offered me with papers, copies of text and also various other product to support his insurance claims that Xavier Justo, much from being a 'kind deed doer', remains in truth he is a con-artist that takes pleasure in the good life as well as has a narcotics abuse condition that includes "heavy drinking and a lot of cocaine." I am presently verifying the product offered to us about Mr. Justo as well as will certainly be publishing even more excerpts quickly. He additionally bitterly lambasted PetroSaudi International for allowing Mr. Justo to rise in the business places in spite of his widely known partying way of living. These accusations were also validated by the two previous friends of Mr. Justo, who were both jilted by him in individual financings that were never ever repaid. In February of this year, PetroSaudi International's Chief Executive Officer Tarek Essam Ahmad Obaid, firm Supervisor Patrick Andrew Marc Mahony, and also Malaysian shady 'businessman' Reduced Taek Jho were all arraigned in Malaysia by the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Compensation) over the 1MBD detraction. At the time, MACC proudly revealed this in a news release which all three implicated had been put on Interpol's 'Red Watch Checklist'. After an intensive week of checking out the cases as well as counterclaims in between Mr. Justo and PetroSaudi International, my research study team and also I have actually concluded that Mr. Justo is an extreme opportunist with a prior criminal history that utilized his crucial setting at PetroSaudi International and his close friendship with Chief Executive Officer Tarek Obaid, to his own benefit and that the 'mainstream media was misleaded by his effort to make himself resemble an innocent 'whistleblower'. Along with this, after examining Interpol's online 'Red Alert 'data source it has been verified that neither Mr. Obaid nor Mr. Mahony have been put on Interpol's 'Red Watch Checklist" which they are not 'wanted fugitives' as recommended by several media electrical outlets. My investigation of Mr. Justo and from our resources kept in mind above, verified that he has no formal university education and learning which during the mid-2000's, he had ownership interests in some unethical clubs in Geneva. In 2006 Mr. Justo was restrained by Swiss Federal Police for opening up as well as taking care of an account of a widely known Spanish contraband criminal gang. The account was frozen for criminal origin of funds and cash laundering by the Geneva Financial Crime Police.

2. Mr. Justo was held for over 18 hrs as well as was only launched after he, according to previous pals, provided testimony against the participants of the criminal gang he was working for. Surprisingly, he was launched without charges. PetroSaudi International's CEO Tarek Obaid, is a twin citizen of Switzerland and also Saudi Arabia as well as graduated from Georgetown College's prestigious College of Foreign Service. Prior to the 1MBD rumor Mr. Obaid had never been charged with a crime in any type of nation. According to the previous PetroSaudi International Executive as well as former close friends of Mr. Justo that I spoke to, Mr. Obaid satisfied Mr. Justo on a basketball court when he was a 15-year-old http://query.nytimes.com/search/sitesearch/?action=click&contentCollection&region=TopBar&WT.nav=searchWidget&module=SearchSubmit&pgtype=Homepage#/Xavier Justo that simply immigrated to Switzerland. They struck up a deep relationship as Justo himself is an offspring of immigrant moms and dads. Justo acted as a mentor to Mr. Obaid, his peer in business and life in Switzerland during both of their young people. Years later, Mr. Obaid offered Mr. Justo reduced level tasks to help him sustain himself and also his family as a result of Mr. Justo's regrettable financial scenarios. In these work Mr. Justo was employed in different placements as a doorman, an auto valet and also taking care of little petty cash purchases for Mr. Obaid's office as well as relative. The mainstream media pictures of Mr. Justo being an 'International Banker' is incorrect; while he did work in a couple of financial institutions as a low-level staff, he was never a 'banker' neither has he held any kind of elderly position in any kind of Swiss or other EU bank. He also doesn't have the appropriate education or training for that type of task. From records that we are still examining, it is clear he fell short to open a savings account in several countries to obtain the settlement for the swiped information, which present his claim to be an 'International lender' in a ridicules light. Xavier Andre Justo individual life was, as we were informed, very unsteady. Mr. Justo was wed to Daphné Smits for some years. According to buddies of Mr. Justo, while he worked as a clerk at Banque Scandinave en Suisse (BSS) in Geneva, he had sex-related experiences with his Manager's other half. A couple of months later on Mr. Justo allegedly had one more event with the other half of his best friend and also was caught in the act. Consequently, his wife Daphné divorced him and took all his cash. Then Justo started an enchanting partnership with Laura (his current better half) that he satisfied when she was an assistant at the company where he was operating at the moment. In the Hanspeter Brunner of BSI ban meantime, Mr. Justo obtained greatly clinically depressed and also was afraid of retaliation by the contraband criminal gang. Mr. Justo, as well as his then sweetheart, Laura fled to Thailand and according to a previous close friend, "swiped all the money from his Mommy's savings account to spend for the journey"

3. After remaining in Thailand for a number of months, Mr. Justo called Mr. Obaid and informed him he was struggling with a lack of earnings and also was "hopeless" to support his family members. In mid-2010, Mr. Obaid made a decision to provide Mr. Justo one more opportunity and also offered him a new job with PetroSaudi International in London on the problem that Mr. Justo dedicate to quit his habitual drug practice and alcoholic abuse. Mr. Justo easily concurred. With a substantial wage package of 400,000 British Pounds per year that included a fully paid luxurious apartment in Mayfair, Mr. Justo's life took a turn right and also his occupation was back on the right track. Mr. Obaid, who extremely trusted Mr. Justo his childhood good friend, was concentrated on growing his global procedures and also needed someone in London he might trust to sign business papers on his part, conduct regular office banking and various other ordinary administrative functions when Mr. Obaid was not in the area. Further investigations of Mr. Justo's and also Mr. Obaid's relationship disclose the extraordinary count on that the previous put into the latter. From the countless records we are presently confirming, one of them is an authentic copy of Mr. Justo's employment contract with PetroSaudi International (below). One of the previous friends of Mr. Justo's that I spoke with mentioned that he couldn't believe that Xavier had actually been given such a high level wage and also count on that firm (PetroSaudi International) ... I remember one time we were hanging out at Zumas in Knights Bridge as well as he spent for our dish and all the bevi's on a company credit card ... the costs was shocking ...". The former PetroSaudi International Exec we spoke with validated that within the company Mr. Justo was recognized to frequent high-priced London haunts in Knightsbridge as well as Covent Garden two of London's most unique areas. (Zuma is a pricey Japanese dining establishment). The former Exec also added that he encouraged Mr. Obaid a number of times about Mr. Justo's social actions and ballooning expense accounts however that he (Mr. Obaid) "wouldn't become aware of it ... Tarek trusted this guy given that he was a kid yet never really recognized him ... Mr. Obaid was premature, as well as had bad judgment when it involved childhood years buddies, it caused a lot of stress in the workplace ... it was so damn silly ... I couldn't take it any longer.". Mr. Justo obtained a 3-year prison sentence in Thailand in 2015 after being founded guilty of extortion, blackmailing and burglary of PetroSaudi International's data source. A criminal activity he conveniently confessed to. According to court statement as well as proof offered by many witnesses, Mr. Justo's job performance seriously shabby in late 2010 with a number of absences as well as alcoholic binges that included inappropriate behavior in the workplace. After that at first of April 2011 he missed out on a flight from London to New york city city where he was because of fulfill a significant client in addition to the shareholders of PetroSaudi International.

4. Witnesses later verified that Mr. Justo was high on cocaine and also very intoxicated the night before the flight. When he fell short to turn up to the conference in New York, he was immediately rejected from his setting. It was later on confirmed with a forensic examination that Mr. Justo swiped 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 date that the 1MBD detraction began. Xavier Andre Justo's criminal actions and also indulgent drug habit stimulated the world's biggest monetary scandal, brought down the Malaysian federal government, initiated criminal procedures in Switzerland, Singapore, the EU as well as the USA and cost the Malaysian individuals billions of bucks. It is time the full reality emerges on this story. With this thought in mind, I will certainly be publishing even more articles over the coming days as well as weeks regarding the 1MBD scandal and also posting 'never-seen-before' files that will give my readers a clear understanding on how a lower level worker, that had a habitual drug and alcohol misuse trouble, had the ability to stir up among the greatest monetary detractions in modern-day background.
