International Warrant for Former Rugby Captain Elsom

An international arrest warrant has been issued for former Australia rugby captain Rocky Elsom following his conviction for forgery and misuse of corporate assets during his tenure as president of French rugby club Narbonne from 2015 to 2016. Elsom was sentenced in absentia to five years in prison and ordered to repay €705,000; he was accused of embezzling funds and creating a 'catastrophic financial situation' at the club, which was later relegated to the third division. Despite these legal troubles, Elsom was recently interviewed in Dublin, Ireland, where he mentioned recovering from an injury and working at a local school. His brief but successful rugby career includes captaining the Wallabies and contributing significantly to Leinster’s first Heineken Cup title in 2009. Elsom has expressed contentment with his current situation, focusing on his recovery and distancing himself from his business in Queensland. His legal issues in France remain unresolved as he continues to reside outside the country.
