François Fillon trial: Former French PM found guilty over 'fake jobs'
A court has sentenced ex-French PM François Fillon to five years in jail, three of them suspended, for embezzling public funds in a scandal that ended his run in the 2017 presidential poll.
He was found guilty of paying his wife Penelope more than €830,000 (£760,000; $935,000) for work she never did as his parliamentary assistant.
She was given a three-year suspended term.
