France's former Vivendi CEO Messier convicted for misleading investors
A Paris court convicted Jean-Marie Messier (photo), France’s former business star and CEO of media giant Vivendi, Friday for misleading investors when he gave upbeat reports on the firm's dire finances in 2002.
AFP - A French court on Friday handed media giant Vivendi's ex-boss Jean-Marie Messier a three-year suspended jail term over a scandal that nearly brought down the group in 2002.
It also sentenced Canadian businessman Edgar Bronfman Jr to 15 months suspended and a five-million euro ($6.8 million) fine for insider trading, linked to Vivendi's purchase of his Seagram group's entertainment division.
Messier received the suspended term and a fine of 150,000 euros ($200,000) on charges including embezzlement after he gave himself a 20-million-euro pay-off when he left the group in 2002.
The judges also convicted him of misleading investors about the group's financial health but cleared him of charges of manipulating the company's shares.
