BANGKOK: Swiss national Xavier Andre Justo has claimed that he was promised US$2mil (RM7.6mil) in exchange for data he stole from his former employer PetroSaudi International.

Justo, who is now jailed in Thailand in connection with attempting to blackmail his former employer told The Straits Times in a prison interview that he was never paid what he was promised by a prominent Malaysian businessman. Justo claimed a deal was reached in Singapore in February on the sale of the documents, which was followed by lengthy discussions on how he would be paid.
