Xavier Justo-- Swiss 'Whistleblower' or Offender?

1. In my continuing investigation of the Malaysian 1MBD scandal, new details has actually emerged that showcases a complicated internet of intrigue, subterfuge and also corruption involving the supposed 'Whistleblower' Xavier Andre Justo and also a Swiss prosecutor. Mr. Justo, a previous top-level worker of PetroSaudi International SA, was incarcerated in Thailand for swiping a database from his previous employer that damaged the scandal. A Swiss prosecutor who himself is currently under examination for political corruption with a 'Problem of Interest' attached to the instance and a list of other diverse stars much more proper of a Hollywood thriller than real life situations. In my last write-up I reported on the 1MBD rumor's impact in Canada. In 2012, Malaysia's state-owned energy firm Petronas acquired Canada's Progression Energy for a reported $5.5 billion. At the time it was among Malaysia's biggest international investments. Provided the reality that the 1MBD scandal broke following Petronas's aggressive entry to Canada's oil as well as gas market, I started investigating and reporting on the ramifications that corrupt international investors from developing nations, such as Malaysia, might have in Canadian private market sectors. I chose to focus originally on the main individual credited with 'breaking' the story of the IMBD detraction - Xavier Andre Justo. Getting to the bottom of this complex affair has been challenging. Put simply, the center administration of the companies associated with the 1MBD scandal, are essentially, terrified to speak with reporters. Additionally, the top tier execs of these companies will certainly likewise not take place the document. Recently, I lastly discovered a disgruntled former exec of PetroSaudi International along with 2 former good friends of Mr. Justo's who were all kind sufficient to give me some sorely needed background on the 'life and also times' of Xavier Justo. The previous Exec of PetroSaudi International talked with me on condition of privacy and also supplied me with papers, duplicates of sms message as well as other product to support his cases that Xavier Justo, much from being a 'kind deed doer', remains in truth he is a con-artist who appreciates the good life as well as has a narcotics abuse condition that includes "heavy alcohol consumption and a lot of cocaine." I am currently verifying the

2. product provided to us about Mr. Justo and will certainly be releasing more excerpts soon. He additionally bitterly bawled out PetroSaudi International for enabling Mr. Justo to climb in the company places in spite of his widely known partying way of life. These allegations were additionally verified by the 2 previous friends of Mr. Justo, who were both jilted by him in individual financings that were never repaid. In February of this year, PetroSaudi International's CEO Tarek Essam Ahmad Obaid, company Supervisor Patrick Andrew Marc Mahony, as well as Malaysian unethical 'business person' Reduced Taek Jho were all arraigned in Malaysia by the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) over the 1MBD scandal. At the time, MACC happily announced this in a press release and that all three accused had been put on Interpol's 'Red Watch Checklist'. After an extensive week of examining the cases and counterclaims in between Mr. Justo and PetroSaudi International, my study team and I have ended that Mr. Justo is a severe go-getter with a previous criminal background who utilized his vital placement at PetroSaudi International and his close relationship with Chief Executive Officer Tarek Obaid, to his very own advantage and that the 'mainstream media was deceived by his effort to make himself appear like an innocent 'whistleblower'. Along with this, after examining Interpol's online 'Red Alert 'database it has been validated that neither Mr. Obaid nor Mr. Mahony have been put on Interpol's 'Red Watch Listing" and that they are not 'desired fugitives' as suggested by lots of media outlets. My investigation of Mr. MACC Justo and from our sources noted above, validated that he has no formal university education and that during the mid-2000's, he had ownership interests in some unethical clubs in Geneva. In 2006 Mr. Justo was apprehended by Swiss Federal Cops for opening up as well as taking care of an account of a popular Spanish contraband criminal gang. The account was frozen for criminal origin of funds and also cash laundering by the Geneva Financial Criminal Offense Police. Mr. Justo was held for over 18 hours and was just released after he, according to previous buddies, gave testimony against the members of the criminal gang he was benefiting. Remarkably, he was released without charges. PetroSaudi International's CEO Tarek Obaid, is a dual citizen of Switzerland and also Saudi Arabia and also finished from Georgetown College's prominent College of Foreign Service. Before the 1MBD scandal Mr. Obaid had actually never ever been charged with a crime in any type of country. According to the former PetroSaudi International Executive as well as previous friends of Mr. Justo that I talked to, Mr. Obaid fulfilled Mr. Justo on a basketball court when he was a 15-year-old that simply come in to Switzerland. They struck up a deep relationship as Justo himself is an offspring of immigrant parents. Justo worked as a mentor to Mr. Obaid, his peer in company and life in Switzerland during both of their youths. Years later on, Mr. Obaid provided Mr. Justo lower degree work to aid him maintain himself as well as his household due to Mr. Justo's regrettable financial conditions. In these tasks Mr. Justo was utilized in numerous positions as a concierge, a vehicle valet and also handling tiny petty cash purchases for Mr. Obaid's workplace and also family members. The mainstream media portraits of Mr. Justo being an 'International Banker' is incorrect; while he did operate in a couple of banks as a low-level clerk, he was never a 'banker' neither has he held any senior setting in any type of Swiss or various other EU bank. He additionally doesn't have the proper education or training for that kind of work. From files that we are still assessing, it is clear he failed to open a checking account in numerous countries

3. to receive the settlement for the stolen information, which offer his insurance claim to be an 'International lender' 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 pals 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 http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=Xavier Justo partner. A couple of months later Mr. Justo supposedly had another affair with the other half of his buddy as well as was caught in the act. Because of this, his partner Daphné separated him and also took all his money. After that Justo started a charming partnership with Laura (his present other half) that he met when she was an assistant at the company where he was working at the moment. In the meantime, Mr. Justo got greatly depressed and was afraid of revenge by the contraband criminal gang. Mr. Justo, and his then sweetheart, Laura escaped to Thailand as well as according to a former close friend, "took all the money from his Mommy's bank account to spend for the trip" After being in Thailand for numerous months, Mr. Justo called Mr. Obaid and informed him he was dealing with an absence of income and was "determined" to support his household. In mid-2010, Mr. Obaid decided to give Mr. Justo another opportunity and also provided him a new job with PetroSaudi International in London on the problem that Mr. Justo commit to quit his habitual cocaine behavior and alcoholic abuse. Mr. Justo readily concurred. With a hefty salary bundle of 400,000 British Pounds annually that included a completely paid deluxe house in Mayfair, Mr. Justo's life took a turn right as well as his career was back on the right track. Mr. Obaid, who highly trusted Mr. Justo his childhood close friend, was concentrated on growing his worldwide procedures as well as needed a person in London he could depend sign corporate documents on his part, conduct routine workplace banking and other mundane management functions when Mr. Obaid was not in the area. Further investigations of Mr. Justo's and Mr. Obaid's connection expose the unbelievable trust that the previous taken into the latter. From the numerous records we are currently verifying, one of them is an authentic duplicate of Mr. Justo's employment agreement with PetroSaudi International (listed below). One of the previous pals of Mr. Justo's that I interviewed specified that he couldn't believe that Xavier had actually been given such a high degree salary and rely 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 meal and all the bevi's on a business charge card ... the costs was shocking ...". The former PetroSaudi International Exec we spoke with validated that within the business Mr. Justo was understood to constant costly London haunts in Knightsbridge and Covent Garden two of London's most special locations. (Zuma is a costly Japanese restaurant). The former Executive likewise added that he advised Mr. Obaid numerous times about Mr. Justo's social actions and also ballooning expense accounts but that he (Mr. Obaid) "would not hear of it ... Tarek trusted this person given that he was a youngster yet never really knew him ... Mr. Obaid was immature, and also had bad judgment when it involved childhood friends, it caused a great deal of tension in the office ... it was so damn foolish ... I could not take it any longer.". Mr. Justo got a 3-year prison sentence in Thailand in 2015 after being founded guilty of extortion, blackmailing as well as theft of PetroSaudi International's data source. A criminal offense he conveniently admitted to.

4. According to court testament and also evidence supplied by countless witnesses, Mr. Justo's work performance seriously worn-out in late 2010 with several lacks and alcoholic binges that included inappropriate behavior in the office. Then in the beginning of April 2011 he missed a flight from London to New York city where he resulted from fulfill a significant client as well as the shareholders of PetroSaudi International. Witnesses later verified that Mr. Justo was high on cocaine and very intoxicated the night prior to the flight. When he fell short to turn up to the meeting in New York, he was peremptorily dismissed from his placement. It was later verified through a forensic examination that Mr. Justo took PetroSaudi International's database and made the last download of the 90Gb information 24h after he was discharged over the phone. This is the day that the 1MBD scandal began. Xavier Andre Justo's criminal activities and also indulgent drug habit stimulated the globe's largest economic detraction, reduced the Malaysian federal government, initiated criminal process in Switzerland, Singapore, the EU as well as the USA as well as cost the Malaysian individuals billions of dollars. It is time the complete truth comes to light on this tale. With this thought in mind, I will be publishing more short articles over the coming days and also weeks about the 1MBD scandal as well as publishing 'never-seen-before' documents that will certainly provide my readers a clear understanding on exactly how a lower level worker, who had a habitual alcohol and drug abuse problem, had the ability to stir up one of the largest financial detractions in modern history.
