Swedish carmaker Volvo has been found guilty of manslaughter after a French court ruled that faulty brakes were to blame for a fatal car crash in France.
The driver, Catherine Kohtz, lost control of her Volvo 850 TDI vehicle and killed two children in 1999.
Ms Kohtz received a six-month suspended jail term, a 300-euro ($446; £224) fine. Her licence was also suspended for a year.
Volvo was fined 200,000 euros, though it has denied the car was faulty.
