Former Australia rugby captain Rocky Elsom was sentenced to two years in prison by a French court on Friday for misusing corporate assets during his time as club president of Narbonne.
He was also fined €100,000 ($173,000) with half the sum suspended. The 42-year-old Elsom did not appear in court. His whereabouts are unknown and a French arrest warrant has been issued.
He played 75 times for Australia from 2005-11, earning a reputation as a standout flanker.
Elsom was president of southern French club Narbonne from 2015-16. He faced trial charged with embezzling club funds by making unjustified expenditures to pay a coach or a general manager who was living in Australia at the time. He was acquitted on charges of forgery and use of forgery, but was ordered to pay €230,000 in compensation to the club’s liquidator.
