Xavier Justo-- Swiss 'Whistleblower' or Offender?

1. In my continuing examination of the Malaysian 1MBD scandal, brand-new info has emerged that showcases a complex internet of intrigue, subterfuge and also corruption including the expected 'Whistleblower' Xavier Andre Justo as well as a Swiss district attorney. Mr. Justo, a former top-level employee of PetroSaudi International SA, was imprisoned in Thailand for taking a data source from his previous employer that broke the detraction. A Swiss prosecutor who himself is currently under investigation for political corruption with a 'Conflict of Passion' linked to the situation and a litany of other diverse stars much more proper of a Hollywood thriller than real life conditions. In my last short article I reported on the 1MBD detraction's influence in Canada. In 2012, Malaysia's state-owned energy firm Petronas got Canada's Progression Energy for a reported $5.5 billion. At the time it was one of Malaysia's biggest foreign investments. Given the truth that the 1MBD scandal broke following Petronas's aggressive entryway to Canada's oil and gas sector, I started looking into as well as reporting on the implications that corrupt foreign investors from establishing countries, such as Malaysia, might have in Canadian exclusive market industries. I made a decision to focus at first on the major individual credited with 'breaking' the story of the IMBD detraction - Xavier Andre Justo. Getting to the bottom of this complex affair has been testing. Simply put, the middle monitoring of the companies involved in the 1MBD rumor, are for the most part, frightened to talk with reporters. Furthermore, the top rate executives of these firms will certainly likewise not take place the record. Last week, I ultimately located a disgruntled previous executive of PetroSaudi International in addition to 2 previous friends of Mr. Justo's that were all kind sufficient 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 condition of privacy as well as additionally supplied me with documents, copies of text and also other product to sustain his cases that Xavier Justo, far from being a 'kindness doer', remains in reality he is a con-artist who appreciates the good life and has a narcotics abuse problem that includes "heavy drinking as well as a lot of cocaine." I am presently confirming the material given to us concerning Mr. Justo as well as will be releasing more excerpts soon. He also bitterly lambasted PetroSaudi International for permitting Mr. Justo to climb in the firm places despite his widely known partying way of living. These claims were additionally validated by the 2 previous friends of Mr. Justo, who were both jilted by him in personal fundings that were never ever paid back. In February of this year, PetroSaudi International's Chief Executive Officer Tarek Essam Ahmad Obaid, firm Director Patrick Andrew Marc Mahony, as well as Malaysian questionable 'business owner' Low Taek Jho were all fingered in Malaysia by the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) over the 1MBD rumor. At the time, MACC proudly revealed this in a news release which all three charged had been put on Interpol's 'Red Watch Checklist'. After an extensive week of investigating the claims and counterclaims between Mr. Justo as well as PetroSaudi International, my research study team as well as I have actually concluded that Mr. Justo is a severe opportunist with a previous criminal background who used his vital position at PetroSaudi International and also his close relationship with CEO Tarek Obaid, to his own advantage and that the 'traditional media was tricked by his attempt to make himself resemble an innocent 'whistleblower'. In addition to this, after checking Interpol's on-line 'Red Alert 'database it has actually been verified that neither Mr. Obaid nor Mr. Mahony have actually been put on Interpol's 'Red Watch Checklist" which they are not 'wanted fugitives' as suggested by lots of media outlets. My investigation of Mr. Justo and also from our sources kept in mind above, validated that he has no formal college education and that during the mid-2000's, he had ownership rate of interests in some unethical clubs in Geneva. In 2006 Mr. Justo was restrained by Swiss Federal Police for opening up and handling an account of a widely known Spanish contraband criminal gang. The account was iced up for criminal origin of funds as well as cash laundering by the Geneva Financial Criminal Offense Police. Mr. Justo was held for over 18 hours and also was just released after he, according to former good friends,

2. provided testament against the participants of the criminal gang he was working for. Surprisingly, he was released without charges. PetroSaudi International's CEO Tarek Obaid, is a double person of Switzerland and Saudi Arabia as well as finished from Georgetown College's prestigious College of Foreign Service. Before the 1MBD detraction Mr. Obaid had actually never ever been charged with a crime in any kind of nation. According to the previous PetroSaudi International Exec and previous close friends of Mr. Justo that I talked to, Mr. Obaid satisfied Mr. Justo on a basketball court when he was a 15-year-old that simply immigrated to Switzerland. They struck up a deep friendship as Justo himself is an offspring of immigrant moms and dads. Justo worked as a coach to Mr. Obaid, his peer in organisation and also life in Switzerland throughout both of their young people. Years later on, Mr. Obaid gave Mr. Justo lower level work to aid him maintain himself and also his household because of Mr. Justo's regrettable economic situations. In these work Mr. Justo was utilized in numerous settings as a doorman, an auto valet as well as dealing with tiny petty cash acquisitions for Mr. Obaid's workplace and relative. The mainstream media portraits of Mr. Justo being an 'International Banker' is false; while he did work in a number of financial institutions as a low-level clerk, he was never ever a 'lender' neither has he held any type of elderly setting in any kind of Swiss or other EU financial institution. He additionally does not have the proper education or training for that sort of Tim Leissner task. From papers that we are still assessing, it is clear he fell short to open a savings account in numerous countries to get the payment for the stolen data, which present his claim to be an 'International lender' in a mocks light. Xavier Andre Justo individual life was, as we were told, very unstable. Mr. Justo was married to Daphné Smits for some years. According to good friends of Mr. Justo, while he worked as a clerk at Banque Scandinave en Suisse (BSS) in Geneva, he had sexual experiences with his Boss's other half. A couple of months later Mr. Justo allegedly had an additional affair with the spouse of his friend as well as was caught in the act. As a result, his spouse Daphné divorced him and also took all his cash. Then Justo started an enchanting relationship with Laura (his current spouse) that he satisfied when she was a secretary at the company where he was working at the time. In the meantime, Mr. Justo got greatly depressed and also hesitated of retaliation by the contraband criminal gang. Mr. Justo, and his then girlfriend, Laura ran away to Thailand and according to a previous friend, "stole all the cash from his Mom's checking account to pay for the trip" After being in Thailand for numerous months, Mr. Justo got in touch with Mr. Obaid and also told him he was suffering from an absence of earnings as well as was "determined" to support his household. In mid-2010, Mr. Obaid chose to provide Mr. Justo one more opportunity as well as supplied him a brand-new job with PetroSaudi International in London on the problem that Mr. Justo devote to quit his habitual drug practice and also alcoholic abuse. Mr. Justo conveniently concurred. With a significant salary package of 400,000 British Extra pounds per year that consisted of a totally paid deluxe apartment or condo in Mayfair, Mr. Justo's life deviated for the better and his occupation was back on course. Mr. Obaid, who very relied on Mr. Justo his childhood close friend, was focused on growing his worldwide procedures and required someone in London he could trust to sign corporate papers on his part, conduct routine office banking and other ordinary administrative features when Mr. Obaid was not in town. Additional investigations of Mr. Justo's and Mr. Obaid's relationship disclose the incredible depend on that the former taken into the last. From the many records we are presently verifying, among them is a genuine duplicate of Mr. Justo's employment contract with PetroSaudi International (below). Among the previous close friends of Mr. Justo's that I spoke with specified that he couldn't think that Xavier had

3. actually been offered such a high degree income and count on that company (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 firm bank card ... the expense was horrendous ...". The former PetroSaudi International Exec we spoke with confirmed that within the business Mr. Justo was recognized to frequent pricey London haunts in Knightsbridge as well as Covent Yard two of London's most exclusive locations. (Zuma is a pricey Japanese dining establishment). The former Executive additionally added that he recommended Mr. Obaid a number of times regarding Mr. Justo's social actions as well as ballooning expense accounts yet that he (Mr. Obaid) "wouldn't become aware of it ... Tarek trusted this individual since he was a kid but never really recognized him ... Mr. Obaid was immature, and also had bad judgment when it came to childhood years buddies, it triggered a lot of tension in the workplace ... it was so damn stupid ... I could not take it any longer.". Mr. Justo obtained a 3-year jail sentence in Thailand in 2015 after being founded guilty of extortion, blackmailing as well as theft of PetroSaudi International's database. A criminal offense he conveniently confessed to. According to court testament as well as proof offered by countless witnesses, Mr. Justo's job performance seriously shabby in late 2010 with several lacks and also alcoholic binges that included inappropriate behavior in the office. After that in the beginning of April 2011 he missed a trip from London to New york city city where he resulted from meet a significant client in addition to the investors of PetroSaudi International. Witnesses later on verified that Mr. Justo was high on drug and also very intoxicated the evening prior to the trip. When he fell short to show up to the conference in New York, he was immediately rejected from his placement.

4. It was later confirmed with a forensic investigation that Mr. Justo swiped PetroSaudi International's data source as well as made the last download of the 90Gb information 24h after he was terminated over the phone. This is the date that the 1MBD scandal began. Xavier Andre Justo's criminal actions and also indulgent drug habit sparked the world's largest economic rumor, brought down the Malaysian government, started criminal procedures in Switzerland, Singapore, the EU and the United States 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 uploading even more articles over the coming days and also weeks concerning the 1MBD scandal as well as publishing 'never-seen-before' documents that will certainly offer my visitors a clear understanding on how a reduced degree staff member, that had a regular drug and alcohol misuse trouble, had the ability http://edition.cnn.com/search/?text=Xavier Justo to ignite one of the largest economic rumors in modern background.
