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."
