Who Is Xavier Andre Justo?

On Aug 17, 2015, Justo was was sentenced to three years’ jail by the South Bangkok Criminal Court, Thailand, for stealing 90 gigabytes of data which included emails, documents and other materials from PetroSaudi International.

His three-year jail term was cut short after he was granted two separate Royal Pardons, firstly by the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej in August and subsequently by the newly-ascended King Maha Chakri Bodindradevarangkun.

The Royal Pardon he received from the late King Bhumibol enabled Justo to commute one-third of his jail term, while the one granted by King Maha Chakri entitled him for an early release.

Malaysian police had also recorded his statement in connection with the investigation into the state-owned 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) in December 2015, while he was still in prison.

He drew interest in Malaysia in view of the cooperation between PetroSaudi and 1MDB.

Justo is alleged to have previously shared information on 1MDB with Sarawak Report editor Clare Rewcastle-Brown, who arrived here on Friday.

The administration of Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has vowed to pursue the 1MDB corruption case.

On Tuesday, former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak is scheduled to have his statement recorded by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) over the probe on the financial scandal of SRC International Sdn Bhd, which was a subsidiary of 1MDB.
