Former France international and Ligue 1 winner Tony Vairelles has received a five-year prison sentence for his involvement in a nightclub shooting in October 2011.
The incident happened in the town of Essey-les-Nancy, shortly after the ex-striker called time on his 20-year professional career. Vairelles and his three brothers allegedly clashed with bouncers - who were struck by bullets - inside the venue.
Vairelles, who won eight senior caps between 1998 and 2000, was initially detained by the police after the incident but freed in March 2012 pending further investigations. The four brothers were charged with "aggravated violence" after being held on suspicion of attempted murder.
