Pascal Najadi (born August 20, 1967) is a retired Swiss investment banker, film maker, author, and the son of Hussain Najadi. He currently works as a bitcoin activist.[1] He is best known for producing movies like Grounding - The Last Days of Swissair (in 2006).[2] He also produced Rebel News (2015), and National Citizens Inquiry (NCI) (2023).[3]
He sued Swiss president Alain Berset for allegedly abusing his office and making false statements on Swiss television regarding COVID-19.[4] The case was dismissed.[5]
Najadi was born in Lucerne, Switzerland, on August 20, 1967, to Bahraini financier Hussain Najadi[6] and Swiss Heidi Anderhub-Minger, a direct descendant of former Swiss Federal Counsel and Swiss President Rudolf Minger.[7] He finished his early education at the Military Service and School in Switzerland, then pursued economics at Institut auf dem Rosenberg, St. Gallen, Switzerland.[8]
In 1989, Najadi began working as a public relations assistant for Klaus J. Stöhlker at Klaus J. Stöhlker AG in Zollikon, Switzerland. Later that year, he was hired as an account executive for sales of open-end mutual funds to Swiss banks by Orbitex Finanz AG in Zurich, Switzerland.
From 1993 until 2003, Najadi served as a management board member at Dresdner Bank, London and was in charge of capital markets business covering Central Europe, Central Asia, the Russian Federation, Africa and the Middle East .[9] [10]
After his father Hussain Najadi was assassinated in Kuala Lumpur in 2013, he claimed that the Malaysian government and president covered his father's murderers.[11] [12] [13] [14] [15]
In 2023, Najadi filed a civil case against Pfizer in New York, alleging harm from the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine.[16]
On October 27, 2023, he claimed he was appointed Ambassador-at-large by the "Conseil gouvernemental de l'Etat de Savoie", which self-declared the "Independence of the State of Savoie" from France. The claim has no legal legitimacy, and the Savoie remains a department of France. As with that claim Najadis title is completely fictitious.
In 2023, he affirmed during a meeting in support of Chloé Frammery that justice had dismissed a complaint filed against Alain Berset, whom he held responsible for an illness that he contracted following his vaccination against COVID-19.[17]
