IMF chief Christine Lagarde found guilty of ‘negligence’ over huge payout to business tycoon – but escapes jail.

What was Christine Lagarde accused of?
The 60-year-old former corporate lawyer was accused of wrongdoing on two counts: agreeing to the arbitration and failing to challenge the subsequent €404 million (£340 million) award.

In its verdict, the court of three professional magistrates, six senators and six MPs, found no fault in Ms Lagarde’s decision to launch the arbitration procedure. But it found her guilty of “negligence” in choosing not to appeal the arbitration panel’s ruling.
