French phone and Internet provider Orange has been found guilty of a string of employee suicides.

Last Updated Friday, December 20, 2019 5:26AM EST

The former CEO was also convicted and sentenced to four months in prison and ordered to pay 15,000 euros in fines. Other managers were also sentenced to prison and thousands of euros in fines. It is not yet clear whether they will appeal. French telecommunications powerhouse Orange is facing a potentially landmark court ruling Friday on whether it was responsible for dozens of employee suicides or suicide attempts during a painful restructuring.

Lombard, his former right-hand man Louis-Pierre Wenes and the director of human resources Olivier Barberot were accused of leading a "policy of destabilization" as they sought to shed 22,000 jobs in the 2000s. Four other managers are accused of complicity. The three main defendants denied responsibility for the suicides of people they didn't personally know.
