Inconsistences about how Charnier is portraied on the first films.

A t the begining of this movie when Doyle arrives to Marseille te french policeman Barthelemy tells him that there is not records about Charnier and that most probably that name is an Alias.
But in the firts film Charnier is shown as a notorious bussinessman(That scene where he talked about making bigger piers on Marseille port) and if I remember the people used to call him by the name of "Charnier".
