I was offered $2.7m for stolen data: Ex-PetroSaudi employee Xavier Andre Justo on the 1MDB saga

Posted on July 26, 2015 by Dissent

Nirmal Ghosh reports:

Swiss national Xavier Andre Justo – who is now in jail in Thailand in connection with trying to blackmail his former employer, PetroSaudi, which is entangled in a huge scandal involving the Malaysian government – has claimed that he was promised US$2 million (S$2.7 million) in exchange for data he stole from his former employer.

Justo, a former head of IT at the London office of PetroSaudi, has admitted that he had stolen company data – some 90 gigabytes worth – when he left in 2011.

He said he asked PetroSaudi for more money in 2013 but it turned him down.
