International rugby winger remains in prison following arrest

#5. Marc Cécillon (France)

On 10 November 2006, Cécillon, a former France captain, was found guilty of murdering his wife and sentenced to 20 years in prison, five more years than the prosecution had sought. The sentence was reduced to 14 years on appeal before he was released on parole in 2011.

In 2018m a judge in Perpignan, southern France, sentenced Cecillon to a further 12 months in jail, with six months suspended, after a night of violence in August at a vineyard where he was helping with the grape harvest, according to the local L’Independant news site.
