Aurier handed two-month prison sentence over police altercation

Serge Aurier has been found guilty of assaulting a police officer and has been given a convertible two-month prison sentence.

Paris Saint-Germain defender Serge Aurier has been handed a two-month prison sentence for assaulting a police officer.

Aurier has also been ordered to pay an additional 300 euros ($338M) compensation for physical injuries, €300 for moral damages and €1,500 ($1,689) for legal costs.

The prison sentence is convertible to a fine, meaning the right back will not have to serve time, but Aurier's legal team has nonetheless vowed to appeal the verdict.

The prosecutor had demanded a suspended two-month prison sentence with community service.
