French court confirms ex-PM Fillon's conviction in 'fake jobs' scandal

Former French Prime Minister François Fillon's conviction in a fake jobs scandal was upheld by France's Court of Cassation, leading to a new trial for sentencing.
Fillon was found guilty of giving his wife a fake parliamentary job, resulting in millions in public funds, with both receiving suspended prison sentences and fines.
The couple must repay 800,000 euros to the National Assembly, with Fillon likely facing non-custodial punishment, potentially wearing an ankle bracelet.
