                    [Summary] => PARIS  (AFP) – The collapse of the Italian dairy conglomerate Parmalat and the search for an estimated 10 billion euros ($12.6 billion) missing from its accounts illustrate the limited scope of international efforts to shine light into the murky world of money laundering and tax havens. 


Despite initiatives by the United Nations, an OECD-based watchdog and individual countries to combat money laundering and, particularly after the Sept. 11 terror attacks, terrorist financing, both clean and dirty money continues to flood into tax havens.

Records at the Bureau of Immigration reveal that from January to July this year, immigration agents arrested 337 aliens for violating Philippine immigration laws, about 20 of whom were fugitives from justice in their homelands.

NBI Interpol executive officer Ludovico Lara told The STAR that 74-year-old French national Alfred Sirven may have laundered the money he allegedly embezzled from French oil company Elf Aquitane more than three years ago.


"He may have used fictitious names in his bank accounts," said Lara. "We will try to find out if he had any money deposited in our banks."

The Bureau of Immigration (BI) has summoned a French fugitive wanted in France
allegedly for embezzlement and influence-peddling.

Alfred Sirven, 73, has been on the run from French law since 1997 and is now
the subject of a transcontinental police manhunt.

Immigration agents served the subpoena issued by Immigration Commissioner Rufus
Rodriguez at the Caloocan residence of Sirven's Filipino girlfriend, Vilma
Aguinaldo Medina.

They have failed to locate Medina. It was not known who received the summons.
