"Arantxa Sánchez Vicario Receives Suspended Sentence for Fraud"
Former Spanish tennis star Arantxa Sanchez Vicario and her ex-husband have been convicted of hiding assets to avoid paying a 7.6 million-euro debt to Banque de Luxembourg, resulting in a suspended jail term for her and a three-year, three-month jail term for him. They were also ordered to pay 6.6 million euros in compensation to the bank and unspecified fines. Sanchez Vicario, the first Spanish player to reach the top of women's tennis rankings, had blamed her ex-husband for the fraud, but the court found that she had full knowledge of the operations and benefited from them.
