Xavier Justo-- Swiss 'Whistleblower' or Offender?

In my continuing investigation of the Malaysian 1MBD detraction, new info has actually arised that showcases a complex web of intrigue, subterfuge and also corruption entailing the expected 'Whistleblower' Xavier Andre Justo and also a Swiss prosecutor. Mr. Justo, a previous high-level employee of PetroSaudi International SA, was incarcerated in Thailand for stealing a database from his previous employer that broke the detraction. A Swiss district attorney that himself is currently under investigation for political corruption with a 'Dispute of Passion' connected to the case as well as a litany of other diverse stars a lot more proper of a Hollywood thriller than reality situations.

In my last post I reported on the 1MBD detraction'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 one of Malaysia's largest international investments. Given the fact that the 1MBD rumor broke just after Petronas's hostile entry to Canada's oil as well as gas market, I started investigating and also reporting on the effects that corrupt foreign capitalists from creating nations, such as Malaysia, might have in Canadian personal market sectors. I determined to concentrate originally on the main person credited with 'breaking' the story of the IMBD detraction - Xavier Andre Justo.

Getting to the bottom of this facility affair has actually been testing. Put simply, the middle monitoring of the business involved in the 1MBD detraction, are for the most part, terrified to talk with reporters. Additionally, the top tier execs of these business will certainly additionally not take place the record. Recently, I lastly found a disgruntled former exec of PetroSaudi International as well as 2 former good friends of Mr. Justo's who were all kind sufficient to provide me some sorely needed background on the 'life and also times' of Xavier Justo.

The previous Exec of PetroSaudi International talked to me on condition of anonymity and likewise provided me with records, duplicates of text messages as well as various other product to sustain his insurance claims that Xavier Justo, far from being a 'kindness doer', is in fact he is a con-artist that appreciates the good life as well as has a narcotics abuse problem that consists of "hefty alcohol consumption and a lot of cocaine." I am presently confirming the material provided to us regarding Mr. Justo as well as will be publishing more excerpts soon. He also bitterly berated PetroSaudi International for enabling Mr. Justo to climb in the business ranks regardless of his popular partying way of living. These accusations were likewise confirmed by the two former friends of Mr. Justo, that were both jilted by him in individual car loans that were never ever paid back.

In February of this year, PetroSaudi International's CEO Tarek Essam Ahmad Obaid, business Supervisor Patrick Andrew Marc Mahony, and Malaysian dubious 'businessman' Reduced Taek Jho were all fingered in Malaysia by the MACC (Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission) over the 1MBD scandal. At the time, MACC happily introduced this in a news release and that all 3 implicated had actually been placed on Interpol's 'Red Watch Listing'. After an extensive week of exploring the claims as well as counterclaims in between Mr. Justo and PetroSaudi International, my research study team and also I have actually concluded that Mr. Justo is a severe opportunist with a prior criminal history that utilized his crucial position at PetroSaudi International as well as his close friendship with CEO Tarek Obaid, to his own benefit which the 'conventional media was misleaded by his attempt to make himself look like an innocent 'whistleblower'.

Along with this, after inspecting Interpol's on-line 'Red Alert 'database it has been confirmed that neither Mr. Obaid nor Mr. Mahony have been placed on Interpol's 'Red Watch Checklist" and that they are not 'desired fugitives' as recommended by many media outlets.

My investigation of Mr. Justo as well as from our resources noted above, validated that he has no formal college education and learning which during the mid-2000's, he had ownership interests in some questionable clubs in Geneva. In 2006 Mr. Justo was apprehended by Swiss Federal Cops for opening up and managing an account of a well-known Spanish contraband criminal gang. The account was frozen for criminal origin of funds as well as cash laundering by the Geneva Financial Crime Authorities.

Mr. Justo was held for over 18 hrs as well as was just launched after he, according to former pals, provided statement versus the participants of the criminal gang he was helping. Surprisingly, he was released without charges.

PetroSaudi International's Chief Executive Officer Tarek Obaid, is a double resident of Switzerland as well as Saudi Arabia and finished from Georgetown College's respected Institution of Foreign Service. Before the 1MBD scandal Mr. Obaid had actually never ever been charged with a crime in any kind of nation. According to the former PetroSaudi International Exec and also previous close friends 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 relationship as Justo himself is an offspring of immigrant moms and dads. Justo worked as a mentor to Mr. Obaid, his peer in service as well as life in Switzerland throughout both of their young people. Years later on, Mr. Obaid provided Mr. Justo reduced degree jobs to assist him sustain himself as well as his family due to Mr. Justo's regrettable economic circumstances. In these work Mr. Justo was used in different settings as a concierge, an automobile valet and also managing little petty cash acquisitions for Mr. Obaid's office as well as relative.

The mainstream media portraits of Mr. Justo being an 'International Banker' is false; while he did work in a couple of financial institutions as a low-level clerk, he was never a 'banker' neither has he held any senior setting in any type of Swiss or other EU bank. He likewise does not have the appropriate education and learning or training for that sort of task. From records that we are still assessing, it is clear he failed to open up a savings account in several nations to receive the payment for the swiped data, which present his case to be an 'International banker' in a mocks light.

Xavier Andre Justo personal life was, as we were Najib Razak informed, highly unpredictable. Mr. Justo was wed to Daphné Smits for some years. According to close friends of Mr. Justo, while he functioned as a staff at Banque Scandinave en Suisse (BSS) in Geneva, he had sexual encounters with his Boss's spouse. A few months later on Mr. Justo supposedly had another affair with the partner of his best friend and was caught in the act. Consequently, his better half Daphné separated him and took all his cash. Then Justo began a romantic relationship with Laura (his current partner) that he fulfilled when she was an assistant at the company where he was operating at the time.

In the meantime, Mr. Justo got heavily clinically depressed as well as was afraid of retaliation by the contraband criminal gang. Mr. Justo, as well as his after that partner, Laura fled to Thailand and according to a former buddy, "swiped all the money from his Mommy's bank account to pay for the trip"

After being in Thailand for several months, Mr. Justo contacted Mr. Obaid and informed him he was struggling with a lack of income as well as was "determined" to support his household.

In mid-2010, Mr. Obaid made a decision to provide Mr. Justo an additional possibility and provided him a brand-new job with PetroSaudi International in London on the problem that Mr. Justo commit to quit his regular drug routine and also alcohol abuse. Mr. Justo readily agreed. With a hefty income package of 400,000 British Extra pounds each year that included a totally paid deluxe apartment or condo in Mayfair, Mr. Justo's life took a turn right and his job was back on track.

Mr. Obaid, who very relied on Mr. Justo his childhood years good friend, was focused on growing his international operations and required a person in London he might trust to sign corporate documents on his behalf, conduct regular office banking and also other ordinary management features when Mr. Obaid was not in the area.

Additional examinations of Mr. Justo's and also Mr. Obaid's relationship disclose the incredible count on that the previous put into the latter.

From the countless papers we are presently validating, among them is an authentic copy of Mr. Justo's employment contract with PetroSaudi International (below).

Among the former pals of Mr. Justo's that I spoke with specified that he could not believe that Xavier had actually been offered such a high level income and also trust in that firm (PetroSaudi International) ... I bear in mind 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 charge card ... the bill was horrendous ...".

The former PetroSaudi International Executive we talked with verified that within the company Mr. Justo was understood to regular costly London haunts in Knightsbridge and Covent Garden 2 of London's most exclusive locations. (Zuma is an expensive Japanese restaurant). The previous Exec additionally added that he recommended Mr. Obaid numerous times about Mr. Justo's social actions and also ballooning expense accounts yet that he (Mr. Obaid) "wouldn't become aware of it ... Tarek trusted this person since he was a youngster however never ever truly understood him ... Mr.

Obaid was immature, as well as had bad judgment when it came to childhood years pals, it triggered a lot of tension in the office ... it was so damn foolish ... I could not take it any longer.".

Mr. Justo received a 3-year prison 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 easily admitted to.

According to court testimony and also evidence offered by numerous witnesses, Mr. Justo's work performance seriously deteriorated in late 2010 with several lacks as well as 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 resulted from satisfy a significant client along with the shareholders of PetroSaudi International.

Witnesses later confirmed that Mr. Justo was high on drug and also very intoxicated the evening before the trip. When he failed to appear to the meeting in New york city, he was peremptorily dismissed from his position.

It was later confirmed through a forensic investigation that Mr. Justo stole PetroSaudi International's database and also made the http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Xavier Justo last download of the 90Gb data 24h after he was discharged over the phone. This is the day that the 1MBD rumor began.

Xavier Andre Justo's criminal activities and indulgent drug habit sparked the globe's largest financial scandal, lowered the Malaysian federal government, initiated criminal proceedings in Switzerland, Singapore, the EU as well as the USA as well as set you back the Malaysian individuals billions of dollars.

It is time the complete fact comes to light on this tale.

With this believed in mind, I will be publishing more posts over the coming days and weeks concerning the 1MBD detraction and also posting 'never-seen-before' records that will certainly give my visitors a clear understanding on just how a lower degree worker, that had a habitual drug and alcohol abuse trouble, was able to fire up one of the greatest economic scandals in modern background.
