An employee of a Burgundy wine company has been given a one-year suspended prison sentence in Dijon for stealing thousands of bottles of wine worth more than €600,000. The man's lawyer said her client suffered from "kleptomania" and had not made any money from the theft.
The maintenance worker with several vineyards in the prestigious Beaune wine producing region was unmasked by a surveillance camera that filmed him stealing four bottles in February 2024.
