Police probe on 1MDB data theft can’t proceed without Justo, says IGP

Posted on September 14, 2015 by Dissent

Mayuri Mei Lin reports:  

Malaysia’s top policeman said Bukit Aman is still waiting for their Thai counterparts to respond to its request to record a statement from former PetroSaudi International (PSI) executive Xavier Andre Justo in connection to its investigation on an opposition lawmaker’s alleged offer to buy stolen data on 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).

Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar reiterated that Justo’s statement was crucial in order for Malaysian police to “tidy up” its investigation on a plot to topple the existing Barisan Nasional (BN) government by several individuals, whom he did not identify.

[…]

Justo, who was arrested at his home in Koh Samui on June 22, is believed to be the source of leaked documents on PSI’s US$1.2 billion (RM4.51 billion) joint-venture with Malaysian investment firm 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) that purportedly suggest that hundreds of millions were siphoned out.

According to past reports, the Swiss national had attempted to blackmail and extort 2.5 million Swiss Francs from PSI over the release of these purportedly incriminating documents.

Justo later admitted to the blackmail charges to the Thai police and provided information on the data from PSI that he had stolen when he left the firm in 2011.
