Former Czech defender, Tomas Repka, has been sentenced to 15 months in jail for failing to return money he made after selling a luxury car he did not own.
Repka is appealing the decision which was announced on Wednesday, the latest legal problem for the 45-year-old former player.
He had received a six-month sentence last year for advertising sexual services on the internet in the name of his ex-wife.
A court later changed that to community service but this fraud conviction could land the former West Ham United player in jail.
In the latest ruling, a court for a district of Prague found that Repka had rented a luxury car and sold it to a woman for 1 million crowns. (83,812.02 pounds).
He promised to return the money if the sale was not completed.
But he never returned the money and the woman never received a car, the court found.
