An international arrest warrant has been issued to Rocky Elsom, the former captain of the national Australian rugby team, due to forgery while helming a French rugby club.
Former Wallabies flanker Rocky Elsom was found guilty of misusing corporate assets by a French court on Friday.
He was sentenced five years in absentia and ordered to pay back 700,000 euros of assets he squandered while being the president of the Narbonne French rugby club from 2015-16.
The 41-year-old played 75 times for Australia from 2005-11 and represented Irish club Leinster, winning the 2009 European Cup.
