Xavier Justo-- Swiss 'Whistleblower' or Criminal?

1. In my continuing investigation of the Malaysian 1MBD detraction, brand-new details has actually emerged that showcases a complicated web of intrigue, subterfuge and also corruption involving the expected 'Whistleblower' Xavier Andre Justo and a Swiss district attorney. Mr. Justo, a previous high-level staff member of PetroSaudi International SA, was imprisoned in Thailand for taking a data source from his former company that damaged the rumor. A Swiss district attorney who himself is currently under investigation for political corruption with a 'Problem of Passion' attached to the instance and a litany of other diverse stars extra proper of a Hollywood thriller than real life scenarios. In my last post I reported on the 1MBD rumor's effect in Canada. In 2012, Malaysia's state-owned power business Petronas obtained Canada's Progress Energy for a reported $5.5 billion. At the time it was among Malaysia's biggest foreign investments. Provided the truth that the 1MBD detraction damaged after Petronas's hostile entry to Canada's oil and gas sector, I started investigating and also reporting on the ramifications that corrupt foreign investors from creating nations, such as Malaysia, may have in Canadian exclusive market sectors. I chose to focus at first on the major person credited with http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=Xavier Justo 'breaking' the story of the IMBD scandal - Xavier Andre Justo. Getting to the bottom of this complicated affair has been testing. Simply put, the center administration of the business involved in the 1MBD scandal, are for the most part, terrified to talk with reporters. Additionally, the top rate executives of these business will likewise not go on the record. Recently, I finally found an unhappy former exec of PetroSaudi International in addition to two previous buddies of Mr. Justo's who were all kind enough to provide me some sorely needed background on the 'life and times' of Xavier Justo. The previous Exec of PetroSaudi International spoke to me on condition of privacy as well as also offered me with files, duplicates of sms message and also various other product to sustain his cases that Xavier Justo, much from being a 'kindness doer', remains in reality he is a con-artist who enjoys the good life as well as has a narcotics abuse condition that consists of "hefty alcohol consumption as well as a great deal of cocaine." I am presently verifying the material given to us concerning Mr. Justo as well as will be publishing more passages quickly. He additionally bitterly lambasted PetroSaudi International for enabling Mr. Justo to climb in the firm places in spite of his widely known partying way of life. These accusations were likewise verified by the two former good friends of Mr. Justo, who were both jilted by him in personal car loans that were never ever paid back. In February of this year, PetroSaudi International's Chief Executive Officer Tarek Essam Ahmad Obaid, business Director Patrick Andrew Marc Mahony, and also Malaysian unethical 'entrepreneur' Reduced Taek Jho were all indicted in Malaysia by the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Compensation) over the 1MBD detraction. At the time, MACC happily revealed this in a news release which all three charged had actually been put on Interpol's 'Red Watch Checklist'. After an extensive week of exploring the claims as well as counterclaims in between Mr. Justo as well as PetroSaudi International, my research study team and I have concluded that Mr. Justo is an extreme go-getter with a prior criminal background who used his vital setting at PetroSaudi International and his close relationship with Chief Executive Officer Tarek Obaid, to his own advantage which the 'conventional media was misleaded by his attempt to make himself appear like an innocent 'whistleblower'. Along with this, after inspecting Interpol's on the internet 'Red Alert 'data source it has actually been verified that neither Mr. Obaid nor Mr. Mahony have been put on Interpol's 'Red Watch List" which they are not 'wanted fugitives' as suggested by lots of media outlets.

2. My investigation of Mr. Justo and from our resources noted above, confirmed that he has no official university education and learning and that throughout the mid-2000's, he had ownership passions in some unethical clubs in Geneva. In 2006 Mr. Justo was detained by Swiss Federal Authorities for opening up as well as handling an account of a popular Spanish contraband criminal gang. The account was frozen for criminal origin of funds as well as money laundering by the Geneva Financial Crime Police. Mr. Justo was held for over 18 hours and also was just launched after he, according to former close friends, provided testament against the participants of the criminal gang he was helping. Remarkably, he was launched without charges. PetroSaudi International's Chief Executive Officer Tarek Obaid, is a twin citizen of Switzerland and also Saudi Arabia and graduated from Georgetown University's distinguished College of Foreign Service. Prior to the 1MBD detraction Mr. Obaid had never ever been charged with a crime in any type of country. According to the previous PetroSaudi International Exec and previous friends of Mr. Justo that I spoke to, Mr. Obaid fulfilled 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 acted as a mentor to Mr. Obaid, his peer in company and life in Switzerland during both of their young people. Years later, Mr. Obaid gave Mr. Justo lower degree jobs to help him maintain himself as well as his household due to Mr. Justo's unfortunate economic circumstances. In these jobs Mr. Justo was employed in numerous placements as a doorman, a vehicle valet and managing small petty cash acquisitions for Mr. Obaid's workplace as well as family members. The mainstream media portraits of Mr. Justo being an 'International Banker' is false; while he did operate in a couple of financial institutions as a low-level clerk, he was never a 'lender' neither has he held any type of elderly placement in any type of Swiss or other EU financial institution. He likewise doesn't have the proper education or training for that sort of job. From records that we are still assessing, it is clear he failed to open a bank account in numerous countries to receive the payment for the stolen information, which provide his claim to be an 'International lender' in a mocks light.

3. Xavier Andre Justo personal life was, as we were informed, extremely unpredictable. Mr. Justo was married to Daphné Smits for some years. According to friends of Mr. Justo, while he worked as a staff at Banque Scandinave en Suisse (BSS) in Geneva, he had sex-related encounters with his Employer's spouse. A few months later Mr. Justo allegedly had one more affair with the other half of his friend as well as was caught in the act. Consequently, his wife Daphné divorced him and also took all his cash. Then Justo began a charming relationship with Laura (his present spouse) who he met when she was a secretary at the company where he was working at the moment. In the meantime, Mr. Justo obtained greatly depressed as well as was afraid of retaliation by the contraband criminal gang. Mr. Justo, and his then sweetheart, Laura escaped to Thailand and according to a previous friend, "stole all the cash from his Mother's checking account to pay for the trip" After being in Thailand for a number of months, Mr. Justo spoke to Mr. Obaid and told him he was dealing with a lack of earnings and also was "determined" to support his family. In mid-2010, Mr. Obaid decided to offer Mr. Justo an additional opportunity and supplied him a brand-new job with PetroSaudi International in London on the problem that Mr. Justo dedicate to stop his habitual cocaine behavior as well as alcoholic abuse. Mr. Justo readily concurred. With a substantial wage plan of 400,000 British Pounds each year that included a totally paid luxurious home in Mayfair, Mr. Justo's life deviated right and his profession was back on course. Mr. Obaid, who extremely relied on Mr. Justo his childhood good friend, was focused on expanding his international procedures and needed a person in London he could trust to authorize business papers on his part, conduct routine office financial and various other mundane management functions when Mr. Obaid was not in town. Additional investigations of Mr. Justo's and Mr. Obaid's connection expose the unbelievable trust fund that the former taken into the last. From the many documents we are presently validating, among them is an authentic copy 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 couldn't believe that Xavier had actually been offered such a high level salary and also trust in that company (PetroSaudi International) ... I keep in mind one time we were hanging out at Zumas in Knights Bridge and he paid for our dish and all the bevi's on a firm bank card ... the expense was shocking ...". The previous PetroSaudi International Exec we spoke with verified that within the company Mr. Justo was understood to frequent high-priced London haunts in Knightsbridge and Covent Garden 2 of London's many unique locations. (Zuma is a costly Japanese dining establishment). The former Executive also included that he suggested Mr. Obaid numerous times about Mr. Justo's social behavior and also ballooning expense accounts however that he (Mr. Obaid) "would not become aware of it ... Tarek trusted this individual considering that he was a child but never ever actually knew him ... Mr. Obaid was premature, and also had poor judgment when it involved youth close friends, it created a great deal of tension in the workplace ... it was so damn foolish ... I could not take it anymore.". Mr. Justo received a 3-year jail sentence in Thailand in 2015 after being convicted of extortion, blackmailing as well as burglary of PetroSaudi International's data source. A criminal offense he conveniently confessed to. According to court statement and also proof given by various witnesses, Mr. Justo's work efficiency seriously worn-out in late 2010 with numerous absences and also alcoholic binges that consisted of inappropriate behavior in the workplace. Then at first of April 2011 he missed out on a trip from London to New york city city where he

Witnesses later confirmed that Mr. Justo was high on cocaine and extremely intoxicated the night prior to the flight. When he stopped working to show up to the conference in New York, he was Goldman Sachs peremptorily rejected from his setting. It was later verified via 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 terminated over the phone. This is the day that the 1MBD scandal began. Xavier Andre Justo's criminal actions and also indulgent drug habit stimulated the globe'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 people billions of dollars. It is time the full truth emerges on this story. With this believed in mind, I will certainly be publishing even more short articles over the coming days and also weeks about the 1MBD rumor and also publishing 'never-seen-before' files that will provide my readers a clear understanding on exactly how a lower level staff member, who had a regular drug and alcohol abuse problem, had the ability to spark one of the greatest monetary scandals in contemporary background.
