Romania's supreme court has sentenced former Prime Minister Adrian Nastase to four years in prison for taking bribes.

He was also given three years for blackmail - a term which will run concurrently. The case involved favours involving Chinese goods and Romanian properties in 2001-2004.

His wife Dana Nastase got a three-year suspended sentence for collusion.

Mr Nastase survived a suicide attempt in 2012, shortly after getting a two-year jail term in a separate case.
