France’s Wissam Ben Yedder (Darko Bandic/AP)
Monaco forward Wissam Ben Yedder has been given a suspended prison sentence of six months and a day by a Spanish court for tax fraud.
The France international was also fined almost 134,000 euros (£117,711) for not properly paying taxes in Spain.
The 32-year-old played for Spanish side Sevilla from 2016-19.
The sentencing stemmed from a deal between prosecutors and the player’s defence team, the court said.
Sentences of less than two years for first-time offenders are usually suspended in Spain.
