Bernard Laporte receives two year suspended prison sentence

Bernard Laporte has been found guilty of four out of five bribery-related charges in a French court today.

These charges were due to conflict of interests, insider influencing, and four instances of passive corruption, each one “guided by a bias towards” Montpellier owner and FFR backer, Mohed Altrad.

As a result, Laporte has been handed a two year suspended prison sentence and fined €75,000.

BREAKING: @WorldRugby vice-chairman Bernard Laporte has been handed a two-year suspended sentence, a €75,000 fine, and a TWO-YEAR ban on rugby activity for his corruption-related charges.
Eyes now look towards whether his position with WR is tenable.@CityAM
