Yesterday, The Edge Malaysia published a 24-page recap of the 1MDB saga.
On the 24th page of the online document, Justo, who is now a free man and met Malaysian PM Tun Mahathir last week, said the interview published by ST was ‘scripted’.
He also said this was part of a blackmail by the ex-PetroSaudi boys whom he named as Mahony and Finnegan.
Justo named the hidden hands as PetroSaudi director Patrick Mahony; and Paul Finnegan, a UK
private detective who disguised himself as a Scotland Yard detective.
Justo told Ho Kay Tat, The Edge publisher that a list of 50 questions was handed to him by the ex-PetroSaudi guys.
“They handed to me a list of 50 questions and answers that I was supposed to use for my interview just before I saw him (Nirmal).
“Everything I told him was prepared by them (Mahony and Finnegan) and I was also told not to bring up the name Jho Low,” Justo says.
Mahony, PetroSaudi’s head of mergers and acquisitions. Mahony met Jho Low in New York in August 2009 where they first discussed how to bring 1MDB to JV with PetroSaudi.
Why the “hidden hands” decided to use Nirmal and ST for the Justo “confession” to spin a fake narrative is open to speculation, said Ho.
The Straits Times carried the interview on July 24, 2015, splashing it on its print and online editions claiming it was a world scoop.
