Xavier André Justo, a former employee in Petro Saudi; a company receiving funds from 1MDB, is todays guest. A reporter reached out to him some years after his involvement, and it turned out Xavier had critical pieces of information that could lead to the downfall of the corruption within 1MDB. In this episode, we go over how Xavier came over the information he had, how he had to face big legal trouble and where his life is at now. Join us, and take a deep dive into how everything panned out and how he became the whistleblower of this big scandal.
