Hi dackala,
I think I have the answer to your question about this sentence is the passive. 
If we are talking about an ongoing activity - here is an example sentence:
He was reported to steal from his firm..
If we are talking about an activity in the past  then we need the infinitive perfect instead of to inf:
He was reported to have stolen from his company.
Best wishes,
pupa
