Convicted in France.
12 months sentence suspended for two years.
Always knew he was a bum.
A footballer once touted as one of Europe’s best left-backs has been found guilty and sentenced for abandoning his wife and two children.
French footballer Patrice Evra, who had stints as captain of both Manchester United and the French national team, has this week been found guilty by the Nanterre criminal court of abandoning his family from May 2021 to September 2023, to the detriment of his wife. A lawyer for his wife, Sandra Evra, claims that the 43-year-old owes her nearly a million euros - €969 thousand (£833 thousand) - in unpaid alimony.
According to Le Parisien, Evra was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment suspended for two years, which means he will likely not serve any time behind bars. He has also been ordered to pay his wife €4,000 for moral damages and €2,000 in court costs - a total of about £5,100. The former footballer’s legal team immediately appealed the sentence.
