L'ancien Wallaby Rocky Elsom condamné à cinq ans de prison

L’ancien capitaine des Wallabies Rocky Elsom a été reconnu coupable de faux, d’usage de faux et d’abus de biens sociaux par le tribunal de Narbonne, et condamné à cinq ans de prison et à rembourser la somme de 700 000 euros, comme l’indique le quotidien régional L’Indépendant, présent au tribunal. Absent lors de l’audience, il est en outre visé par un mandat d’arrêt international.

Elsom était arrivé comme joueur au RCNM en 2015, alors détenu depuis quatre ans par un consortium d’investisseurs australiens, FG Management, où figurait notamment l’ancien sélectionneur Bob Dwyer, champion du monde 1991 avec l’Australie.

L’épaule en vrac, le flanker n’avait disputé qu’une paire de matchs sous le maillot ‘orange et noir’, en Pro D2, les derniers de sa carrière.

Elsom et Tomiki avaient menacé un avocat narbonnais

FGM, qui avait promis monts et merveilles aux Narbonnais, s’était toutefois rapidement désengagé et l’ancien flanker était apparu pour reprendre les rênes d’un club où il portait les casquettes de joueur, recruteur et président.

Mais la situation s’était vite envenimée devant l’opacité de la gestion d’Elsom et la méfiance des dirigeants historiques du club centenaire. En quelques mois à peine durant l’année 2016, l’ancien international australien avait dilapidé les actifs financiers du club à hauteur de 700 000 euros, à son propre profit et à celui de quelques proches, dont des joueurs licenciés au club.

En juin 2016, Elsom avait également été entendu par la police de Narbonne durant deux heures. Accompagné de Lei Tomiki, un 3e ligne australien qui a joué à Narbonne, il s’était rendu dans les bureaux de l’avocat du RCNM Frédéric Pinet, et le rendez-vous s’était révélé houleux. Me Pinet avait d’ailleurs déposé plainte pour « violences légères et menaces ».

Elsom en Irlande depuis le 26 août

Aux abonnés absents depuis son départ précipité de Narbonne, Rocky Elsom a refait parler de lui récemment en accordant une interview au Times publiée le 6 octobre. On y apprend qu’il se trouve en Irlande depuis le 26 août et qu’il compte y rester jusqu’en décembre.

Il entraîne la modeste équipe de l’Université catholique, un job qu’il a trouvé sur recommandation de Leo Cullen, l’un de ses anciens coéquipiers au Leinster (il a joué pour la province irlandaise durant la saison 2008-2009). Il indique également qu’il est en train de monter une entreprise de construction à Noosa, dans le Queensland (nord est de l’Australie).

On peut également y lire qu’il a été invité par le Leinster à assister à la rencontre face au Munster, samedi, en souvenir de sa splendeur. 20 matchs en tant que Leinsterman, 13 fois homme du match, dont la demie et la finale de HCup, jamais remplacé. Ça vous classe un joueur. L’éphémère dirigeant n’aura pas eu la même rigueur, ni la même réussite.

Désormais visé par un mandat d’arrêt international, sa présence à Croke Parke samedi soir semble plus qu’hypothétique.

REACH OUT TO TECH CYBER FORCE RECOVERY FOR A GREAT JOB

WhatsApp +15617263697

Fine wine and crypto do not always blend well, especially after a few drinks. I learned this the hard way after a record harvest at my vineyard. Swirling an old Cabernet under the stars, I was a financial connoisseur, my $720,000 Bitcoin wallet aging well for future returns. But the next morning, with a hangover as intense as my Merlion, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet password. Even worse, my recovery phrase, which I'd written down in my wine cellar notebook, had vanished. My eager new assistant had tidied up, mistaking my scribbled security notes for wine tasting spillage, and donated the entire book to the recycling gods. I dove into the garbage cans like a desperate sommelier searching for a quality grape but came up with broken dreams and soggy cardboard. Panic set in faster than cork taint. I faced the bitter truth: my digital fortune was bottled up tighter than a corked bottle with no opener. I sank into denial, questioning whether my future vineyard expansion would now be reduced to selling boxed wine. I panicked, pored over industry publications, and came across a wine industry newsletter that mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. Their slogan, something playful about "decanting lost crypto," seemed like a sign from God. I contacted them, half-expecting snobbery or skepticism. What I received instead were tech wizards who tackled my case with humor and precision. Their team labored over my case like veteran sommeliers dissecting terroir. They painstakingly reconstructed transaction flows, timestamp records, and subtle wallet behavior. It was as if I was watching wine connoisseurs sniff out hints of blackcurrant and oak, but with algorithms and blockchain forensics. Each day, they provided updates with the finesse of tasting notes. “We’re detecting progress, notes of potential access, hints of password recovery on the finish.” Their creativity lightened my anxiety, and ten days later, they uncorked my digital vault. When I saw my Bitcoin balance restored, I nearly opened a bottle of my best vintage at 9 AM. My assistant and I shared a hearty laugh; he's still working for me, but now he labels my ledgers with "DO NOT TOUCH" in bold. My wine business is thriving thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, and I have a new rule: passwords before Pinot. Cheers to their genius!

Don't get out over your skis on the Highlanders

As a devoted father of two, my primary concern has always been the safety and well-being of my family. This commitment to my family's security was put to the test on February 6, 2025, when I embarked on a quest to find a trustworthy home security system that could offer us the protection we needed. After conducting some research online, I stumbled upon a security company that seemed promising, and I took the initiative to reach out through their messaging platform. Hours later, my phone rang, and I was greeted by a representative claiming to be from a well-known home security company. They were reaching out to inform me about a special promotional offer, which immediately piqued my interest. However, as the promised week came and went without so much as a peep from the company, my feelings of unease began to escalate. I attempted to contact the company again to inquire about the delay, only to find that the number I had called was suddenly disconnected. It was at that moment—when the reality of the situation hit me—that I understood I had fallen victim to a scam. The devastation that followed was profound; losing $40,000 was not merely a financial setback but a personal failure in my eyes—an inability to safeguard my family's future. The experience left me feeling vulnerable, exposed, and utterly defeated. Determined to reclaim my lost resources, I knew that swift action was essential. I turned to the internet for help and began researching options for recovering my funds. During this search, I came across BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY, a company with a track record of assisting individuals who had encountered similar unfortunate situations. Intrigued by the success stories of people who had benefited from their services, I made the decision to reach out to them. From the moment I contacted BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY, I was met with professionalism and empathy. Their team was understanding of my plight and remained reassuring throughout the process. They immediately set to work on investigating the fraudulent transaction and kept me informed at every step, alleviating some of the anxiety that had consumed me since the incident.Thanks to their diligence, expertise, and unwavering commitment, BOTNET CRYPTO RECOVERY was eventually able to recover an astounding $35,800 of the $40,000 I had lost. The relief I felt was immeasurable; it was as if a heavy weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Not only did they help restore my finances, but they also provided me with something

invaluable—peace of mind.Their contact info is listed below.
