BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania coach Victor Piturca has been handed a suspended one-year prison sentence for aiding and abetting controversial Steaua Bucharest owner George Becali in a high profile corruption case in the Balkan country, the supreme court said.
Piturca, 57, was found guilty for his role in the case that was instigated in 2008 following a criminal inquiry by Romania's Anti-Corruption Department (DNA) when four people were detained in a Cluj restaurant in possession of 1.7 million euros (1.44 million pounds).
