MADRID (AP) — A Spanish court on Tuesday handed Monaco forward Wissam Ben Yedder a suspended prison sentence of six months and one day for tax fraud.
The court also fined the France forward nearly 134,000 euros ($146,000) for not properly paying taxes in Spain.
The 32-year-old Ben Yedder played for Spanish club Sevilla from 2016-19.
The sentencing stemmed from a deal between prosecutors and the player's defense team, the court said.
