Xavier Justo-- Swiss 'Whistleblower' or Lawbreaker?

1. In my continuing investigation of the Malaysian 1MBD rumor, brand-new details has actually emerged that showcases a complicated web of intrigue, subterfuge as well as corruption entailing the supposed 'Whistleblower' Xavier Andre Justo as well as a Swiss prosecutor. Mr. Justo, a former high-level employee of PetroSaudi International SA, was incarcerated in Thailand for stealing a data source from his previous employer that broke the detraction. A Swiss prosecutor that himself is presently under examination for political corruption with a 'Conflict of Passion' connected to the situation and also a litany of other diverse actors more befitting of a Hollywood thriller than the real world situations. In my last post I reported on the 1MBD detraction's effect in Canada. In 2012, Malaysia's state-owned power firm Petronas obtained Canada's Progression Power for a reported $5.5 billion. At the time it was just one of Malaysia's biggest international financial investments. Offered the truth that the 1MBD scandal broke after Petronas's aggressive entry to Canada's oil and also gas sector, I began investigating as well as reporting on the implications that corrupt foreign financiers from creating nations, such as Malaysia, might have in Canadian private market industries. I chose to focus originally on the primary individual attributed with 'damaging' the story of the IMBD scandal - Xavier Andre Justo. Getting to the bottom of this facility affair has been challenging. Simply put, the center monitoring of the companies involved in the 1MBD rumor, are essentially, frightened to talk with reporters. Furthermore, the top tier execs of these business will additionally not go on the document. Recently, I lastly found an unhappy previous executive of PetroSaudi International along with 2 previous pals of Mr. Justo's that were all kind enough to offer me some sorely needed background on the 'life and times' of Xavier Justo. The previous Exec of PetroSaudi International talked to me on problem of privacy and also offered me with records, copies of text as well as various other material to support his claims that Xavier Justo, much from being a 'kind deed doer', is in reality he is a con-artist that delights in the good life and has a narcotics abuse problem that includes "hefty drinking and also a lot of drug." I am presently validating the product provided to us concerning Mr. Justo as well as will be publishing even more excerpts soon. He additionally bitterly chewed out PetroSaudi International for allowing Mr. Justo to rise in the business ranks in spite of his well-known partying way of life. These accusations were also validated by the two former pals of Mr. Justo, who were both jilted by him in individual lendings that were never repaid. In February of this year, PetroSaudi International's CEO Tarek Essam Ahmad Obaid, company Director Patrick Andrew Marc Mahony, and also Malaysian unethical 'entrepreneur' Low Taek Jho were all prosecuted in Malaysia by the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Payment) over the 1MBD rumor. At the time, MACC proudly introduced this in a news release which all 3 implicated had been placed on Interpol's 'Red Watch List'. After an extensive week of investigating the cases as well as counterclaims between Mr. Justo as well as PetroSaudi International, my study team as well as I have concluded that Mr. Justo is a severe opportunist with a previous criminal background that utilized his essential setting at PetroSaudi International as well as his close relationship with CEO Tarek Obaid, to his very own advantage which the 'traditional media was tricked by his effort to make himself resemble an innocent 'whistleblower'. In addition to this, after examining Interpol's online 'Red Alert 'data source it has been confirmed that neither Mr. Obaid neither Mr. Mahony have been placed on Interpol's 'Red Watch List" and that they are not 'desired fugitives' as recommended by lots of media outlets. My examination of Mr. Justo and also from our resources kept in mind above, confirmed that he has no official university education which during the mid-2000's, he had ownership rate of interests in some shady clubs in Geneva. In 2006 Mr. Justo was restrained by Swiss Federal Cops for opening up and taking care of an account of a widely known Spanish contraband criminal gang. The account was frozen for criminal beginning of funds and also cash laundering by the Geneva Financial Crime Authorities.

2. Mr. Justo was held for over 18 hours as well as was just released after he, according to former good friends, gave statement versus the members of the criminal gang he was benefiting. Remarkably, he was released without charges. PetroSaudi International's Chief Executive Officer Tarek Obaid, is a dual person of Switzerland as well as Saudi Arabia as well as finished from Georgetown University's prominent Institution of Foreign Service. Before the 1MBD scandal Mr. Obaid had never ever been charged with a crime in any country. According to the previous PetroSaudi International Exec and previous buddies of Mr. Justo that I spoke with, Mr. Obaid satisfied http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=Xavier Justo 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 business and also life in Switzerland during both of their young people. Years later, Mr. Obaid provided Mr. Justo lower level jobs to help him maintain himself and also his household as a result of Mr. Justo's unfavorable financial situations. In these work Mr. Justo was used in various positions as a concierge, an auto valet and also handling tiny petty cash acquisitions for Mr. Obaid's office and family members. The mainstream media portraits of Mr. Justo being an 'International Banker' is incorrect; while he did work in a couple of banks as a low-level clerk, he was never a 'lender' neither has he held any type of senior setting in any kind of Swiss or other EU financial institution. He likewise doesn't have the appropriate education and learning or training for that kind of job. From records that we are still reviewing, it is clear he fell short to open a checking account in numerous countries to obtain the repayment for the swiped information, which offer his case to be an 'International banker' in a mocks light. Xavier Andre Justo personal life was, as we were informed, extremely unsteady. Mr. Justo was wed to Daphné Smits for some years. According to buddies of Mr. Justo, while he functioned as a clerk at Banque Scandinave en Suisse (BSS) in Geneva, he had sex-related encounters with his Employer's better half. A couple of months later Mr. Justo presumably had another affair with the better half of his best friend and was caught in the whistleblower act. As a result, his better half Daphné separated him and also took all his money. After that Justo started a charming connection with Laura (his present better half) that he fulfilled when she was a secretary at the business where he was operating at the time. In the meantime, Mr. Justo obtained greatly clinically depressed and hesitated of revenge by the contraband criminal gang. Mr. Justo, and also his after that girlfriend, Laura fled to Thailand and according to a former buddy, "took all the cash from his Mommy's bank account to spend for the trip" After remaining in Thailand for a number of months, Mr. Justo spoke to Mr. Obaid and told him he was struggling

3. with an absence of earnings as well as was "desperate" to sustain his family members. In mid-2010, Mr. Obaid determined to provide Mr. Justo an additional opportunity as well as used him a brand- new job with PetroSaudi International in London on the problem that Mr. Justo devote to stop his habitual drug behavior as well as alcoholic abuse. Mr. Justo conveniently agreed. With a substantial wage bundle of 400,000 British Pounds per year that consisted of a totally paid luxurious apartment or condo in Mayfair, Mr. Justo's life deviated for the better as well as his profession was back on the right track. Mr. Obaid, who very trusted Mr. Justo his childhood years close friend, was concentrated on growing his international operations as well as needed a person in London he might trust to sign corporate documents on his part, conduct regular office banking and other mundane administrative functions when Mr. Obaid was not around. More examinations of Mr. Justo's and also Mr. Obaid's partnership expose the astonishing depend on that the former put into the last. From the countless records we are presently validating, among them is a genuine duplicate of Mr. Justo's employment contract with PetroSaudi International (below). Among the former buddies of Mr. Justo's that I spoke with stated that he could not think that Xavier had actually been provided such a high level income and rely on that business (PetroSaudi International) ... I bear in mind once we were hanging out at Zumas in Knights Bridge as well as he paid for our dish and all the bevi's on a business credit card ... the bill was outrageous ...". The former PetroSaudi International Exec we spoke to validated that within the firm Mr. Justo was understood to regular expensive London haunts in Knightsbridge and Covent Garden 2 of London's a lot of unique locations. (Zuma is a high-priced Japanese dining establishment). The former Exec additionally added that he recommended Mr. Obaid a number of times regarding Mr. Justo's social habits as well as ballooning expense accounts yet that he (Mr. Obaid) "wouldn't become aware of it ... Tarek trusted this man because he was a child but never ever really knew him ... Mr. Obaid was immature, and had negative judgment when it came to childhood close friends, it triggered a lot of stress in the workplace ... it was so damn foolish ... I couldn't take it any longer.". Mr. Justo received a 3-year prison sentence in Thailand in 2015 after being founded guilty of extortion, blackmailing and theft of PetroSaudi International's data source. A criminal activity he easily admitted to. According to court statement and proof offered by countless witnesses, Mr. Justo's job efficiency seriously shabby in late 2010 with numerous lacks and also alcoholic binges that included inappropriate behavior in the office. After that initially of April 2011 he missed a trip from London to New York city where he was because of meet a significant customer along with the investors of PetroSaudi International. Witnesses later confirmed that Mr. Justo was high on drug as well as very intoxicated the evening before the trip. When he failed to appear to the conference in New York, he was swiftly disregarded from his placement.

4. It was later validated via a forensic investigation that Mr. Justo took PetroSaudi International's data source and made the last download of the 90Gb data 24h after he was fired over the phone. This is the day that the 1MBD detraction began. Xavier Andre Justo's criminal actions as well as indulgent drug habit stimulated the globe's greatest economic rumor, lowered the Malaysian federal government, initiated criminal process in Switzerland, Singapore, the EU and also the USA and also set you back the Malaysian individuals billions of dollars. It is time the complete fact emerges on this story. With this assumed in mind, I will certainly be uploading even more short articles over the coming days as well as weeks concerning the 1MBD rumor and also posting 'never-seen-before' records that will provide my viewers a clear understanding on how a reduced degree staff member, who had a regular drug and alcohol misuse problem, had the ability to ignite among the greatest financial scandals in modern-day history.
