Juventus and Real Madrid star Fabio Cannavaro has been handed a jail sentence for breaking the police seal at his home.

The ex-Italy international defender's villa had been seized as part of a planning abuse investigation, but the 41-year-old breached orders to keep out of his property.

Cannavaro was slapped with a 10-month jail term, while his brother Paolo, who plays for Serie A side Sassuolo, and his wife Daniela Arenoso were also hit with custodial sentences.
