Postcards From Paraguay Lyrics

I think this song is about Albert Spagiaro (not sure about the spelling) whom masterminded a bank heist though the sewers in Nice France in the mid 70's. He was arrested but escaped and was rumored to have gone to ground in Paraguay. He was famous for sending postcards to the French authorities saying "Bonjour from Albert". There is a good book about this called "Under the Streets of Nice" by Ken Follett.
