Isabelle Adjani was hit with a two-year suspended prison sentence after being found guilty of tax fraud in a Paris court.

The French actor, known for roles in 1981's Possession and 1975's The Story Of Adele H, was found guilty of moving to Portugal from 2016 to 2017 to skip out on paying €236,000 (RM1.2mil) in taxes, as reported by Variety. She also failed to declare a €120,000 (RM675,578) deposit into a US account and disguised a €2mil (RM10.2mil) donation as a loan.
