Former Employer PetroSaudi International, Andre Xavier Justo Gets Royal Pardon

Former Employer PetroSaudi International, Andre Xavier Justo Gets Royal Pardon Swiss national Andre Xavier Justo, who was sentenced to three years imprisonment for attempted blackmail of his former employer, PetroSaudi International, has received a royal pardon. According to lawyer Worrasit Piriyawiboon, his client got the pardon in conjunction with Thailand’s King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s 70 years on the throne and Queen Sirikit’s birthday. The pardon meant that Justo, who has been described as “a very good prisoner” by the Thai prison authority, will have his sentence commuted by one third. Worrasit said that Justo has served one year of his sentence since he was found guilty by the Bangkok South Criminal Court last year. With the royal pardon, he has another year to serve. He said the 49-year-old former IT executive would probably serve the remainder of his jail term on parole or be transferred to another prison, depending on the conditions stipulated under the Royal Pardon.
