Justo shows up at MACC HQ

(The Sun Daily) – Former Petrosaudi International executive Xavier Andre Justo made his appearance at the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission here today.

The Swiss national was seen arriving at the building at around 9am before being greeted by individuals believed to be MACC officers.

Justo was then seen registering himself at the lobby and was later brought to other parts of the building.

It is believed his presence here is related to authorities’ investigations on the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

The special task force formed by the government recently to conduct a probe on 1MDB was slated to have a meeting at the MACC headquarters later at 3pm.

On Sunday, Justo had a meeting with Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad in Kuala Lumpur, where he had posted on Facebook with the caption “What a great privilege and what an incredible moment.”

On Aug 17, 2015, Justo 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.

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.
