Xavier Justo-- Swiss 'Whistleblower' or Wrongdoer?

1. In my proceeding investigation of the Malaysian 1MBD scandal, brand-new details has actually arised that showcases an intricate internet of intrigue, subterfuge and corruption involving the expected 'Whistleblower' Xavier Andre Justo as well as a Swiss district attorney. Mr. Justo, a previous top-level employee of PetroSaudi International SA, was jailed in Thailand for stealing a database from his former employer that broke the scandal. A Swiss district attorney that himself is presently under investigation for political corruption with a 'Problem of Interest' connected to the situation as well as a litany of other diverse actors a lot more befitting of a Hollywood thriller than real life situations. In my last short article I reported on the 1MBD detraction's impact in Canada. In 2012, Malaysia's state-owned energy firm Petronas got Canada's Development Power for a reported $5.5 billion. At the time it was among Malaysia's biggest international financial investments. Offered the truth that the 1MBD scandal damaged following Petronas's aggressive entrance to Canada's oil and gas sector, I started investigating and reporting on the ramifications that corrupt international financiers from developing nations, such as Malaysia, might have in Canadian personal market fields. I determined to concentrate originally on the main person attributed with 'damaging' the tale of the IMBD scandal - Xavier Andre Justo. Getting to the bottom of this complex affair has been challenging. Basically, the center monitoring of the companies involved in the 1MBD scandal, are generally, scared to speak to reporters. Furthermore, the leading tier execs of these companies will also not go on the document. Last week, I ultimately found a disgruntled previous executive of PetroSaudi International along with 2 former friends of Tim Leissner Mr. Justo's that were all kind sufficient to provide me some sorely needed history on the 'life and also times' of Xavier Justo. The former Exec of PetroSaudi International spoke to me on condition of privacy as well as additionally supplied me with documents, copies of text messages and also other product to sustain his cases that Xavier Justo, far from being a 'kind deed doer', is in fact he is a con-artist that delights in the good life and has a narcotics abuse problem that consists of "heavy drinking and also a lot of drug." I am presently validating the material provided to us concerning Mr. Justo and will be releasing more excerpts soon. He likewise bitterly lambasted PetroSaudi International for allowing Mr. Justo to rise in the company places regardless of his widely known partying way of living. These accusations were also confirmed by the 2 former good friends of Mr. Justo, that were both http://www.bbc.co.uk/search?q=Xavier Justo jilted by him in individual finances that were never repaid. In February of this year, PetroSaudi International's Chief Executive Officer Tarek Essam Ahmad Obaid, company Director Patrick Andrew Marc Mahony, and Malaysian dubious 'entrepreneur' Reduced Taek Jho were all arraigned in Malaysia by the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Compensation) over the 1MBD rumor. At the time, MACC proudly announced this in a news release which all three implicated had actually been placed on Interpol's 'Red Watch Listing'. After an extensive week of investigating the insurance claims as well as counterclaims between Mr. Justo and also PetroSaudi International, my research study group and I have wrapped up that Mr. Justo is a severe opportunist with a prior criminal background who used his crucial position at PetroSaudi International and also his close relationship with Chief Executive Officer Tarek Obaid, to his own advantage which the 'mainstream media was misleaded by his effort to make himself resemble an innocent 'whistleblower'. In addition to this, after checking Interpol's on-line 'Red Alert 'data source it has been confirmed that neither Mr. Obaid neither Mr. Mahony have been placed on Interpol's 'Red Watch Checklist" and that they are not 'desired fugitives' as recommended by numerous media outlets. My investigation of Mr. Justo as well as from our sources noted above, validated that he has no official college education and learning which throughout the mid-2000's, he had possession passions in some questionable clubs in Geneva. In 2006 Mr. Justo was apprehended by Swiss Federal Authorities for opening and taking care of an account of a popular Spanish contraband criminal gang. The account was iced up for criminal beginning of funds as well as cash laundering by the Geneva Financial Criminal Activity Cops.

2. Mr. Justo was held for over 18 hrs and also was only launched after he, according to previous friends, offered statement versus the participants of the criminal gang he was helping. Surprisingly, he was launched without charges. PetroSaudi International's Chief Executive Officer Tarek Obaid, is a dual person of Switzerland and Saudi Arabia and graduated from Georgetown University's distinguished School of Foreign Service. Prior to the 1MBD scandal Mr. Obaid had actually never been charged with a crime in any nation. According to the former PetroSaudi International Exec and also former pals of Mr. Justo that I spoke with, Mr. Obaid fulfilled Mr. Justo on a basketball court when he was a 15-year-old that just immigrated to Switzerland. They struck up a deep friendship as Justo himself is an offspring of immigrant parents. Justo served as an advisor to Mr. Obaid, his peer in company and also life in Switzerland throughout both of their youths. Years later, Mr. Obaid offered Mr. Justo lower degree jobs to help him maintain himself and his family members as a result of Mr. Justo's unfortunate economic circumstances. In these tasks Mr. Justo was utilized in numerous settings as a doorman, a cars and truck valet and also handling little petty cash purchases for Mr. Obaid's office and family members. The mainstream media pictures of Mr. Justo being an 'International Banker' is false; while he did work in a number of banks as a low-level staff, he was never ever a 'banker' neither has he held any elderly placement in any Swiss or various other EU financial institution. He also doesn't have the proper education or training for that sort of work. From documents that we are still examining, it is clear he stopped working to open a bank account in several countries to get the settlement for the swiped information, which provide his claim to be an 'International banker' in a mocks light. Xavier Andre Justo personal life was, as we were informed, highly unpredictable. 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 sexual experiences with his Boss's wife. A few months later on Mr. Justo presumably had an additional affair with the partner of his best friend as well as was caught in the act. Consequently, his other half Daphné separated him as well as took all his money. After that Justo began an enchanting connection with Laura (his existing spouse) who he met when she was a secretary at the company where he was operating at the moment.

3. In the meantime, Mr. Justo obtained heavily clinically depressed and was afraid of retaliation by the contraband criminal gang. Mr. Justo, and also his after that girlfriend, Laura escaped to Thailand and also according to a previous buddy, "swiped all the cash from his Mommy's savings account to pay for the trip" After remaining in Thailand for a number of months, Mr. Justo called Mr. Obaid and informed him he was struggling with an absence of earnings and was "hopeless" to sustain his family. In mid-2010, Mr. Obaid chose to provide Mr. Justo another possibility and used him a new job with PetroSaudi International in London on the problem that Mr. Justo devote to quit his habitual drug behavior and alcoholic abuse. Mr. Justo readily concurred. With a hefty income plan of 400,000 British Pounds each year that included a fully paid plush home in Mayfair, Mr. Justo's life deviated for the better and also his occupation was back on course. Mr. Obaid, who extremely trusted Mr. Justo his childhood years good friend, was focused on expanding his worldwide operations and also required someone in London he can trust to sign company papers on his behalf, conduct routine workplace financial as well as other mundane management features when Mr. Obaid was not in the area. Further examinations of Mr. Justo's as well as Mr. Obaid's partnership disclose the amazing trust fund that the previous put into the latter. From the numerous documents we are presently validating, among them is an authentic copy of Mr. Justo's employment contract with PetroSaudi International (listed below). One of the previous close friends of Mr. Justo's that I talked to mentioned that he couldn't think that Xavier had actually been given such a high degree income and also trust in that firm (PetroSaudi International) ... I bear in mind once we were hanging out at Zumas in Knights Bridge and also he spent for our dish and all the bevi's on a company charge card ... the bill was shocking ...". The former PetroSaudi International Executive we talked with validated that within the business Mr. Justo was recognized to frequent expensive London haunts in Knightsbridge and Covent Garden two of London's a lot of unique areas. (Zuma is a costly Japanese dining establishment). The previous Executive likewise included that he advised Mr. Obaid numerous times regarding Mr. Justo's social behavior and ballooning expense accounts yet that he (Mr. Obaid) "would not hear of it ... Tarek trusted this guy since he was a kid but never really recognized him ... Mr. Obaid was immature, and had poor judgment when it came to childhood close friends, it caused a lot of stress in

4. the office ... it was so damn dumb ... I could not take it anymore.". Mr. Justo obtained a 3-year prison sentence in Thailand in 2015 after being convicted of extortion, blackmailing and also theft of PetroSaudi International's database. A criminal offense he easily admitted to. According to court testament and also evidence provided by numerous witnesses, Mr. Justo's work performance seriously tatty in late 2010 with several absences and also alcoholic binges that included inappropriate behavior in the office. After that in the beginning of April 2011 he missed out on a trip from London to New york city city where he resulted from satisfy a significant customer along with the shareholders of PetroSaudi International. Witnesses later confirmed that Mr. Justo was high up on drug and very intoxicated the evening prior to the flight. When he stopped working to show up to the conference in New york city, he was swiftly disregarded from his placement. It was later on confirmed through a forensic examination that Mr. Justo stole PetroSaudi International's data source as well as made the last download of the 90Gb information 24h after he was fired over the phone. This is the date that the 1MBD detraction began. Xavier Andre Justo's criminal actions and also indulgent drug habit sparked the globe's largest monetary rumor, lowered the Malaysian federal government, started criminal procedures in Switzerland, Singapore, the EU and the USA and cost the Malaysian individuals billions of dollars. It is time the complete truth emerges on this story. With this thought in mind, I will certainly be uploading even more articles over the coming days and weeks regarding the 1MBD rumor as well as posting 'never-seen-before' documents that will certainly give my readers a clear understanding on how a lower level staff member, who had a regular drug and alcohol misuse problem, had the ability to stir up one of the largest monetary rumors in contemporary background.
