PARIS, Feb 9 (Reuters) - French supermarket group Casino CASP.PA said on Monday it would not appeal its January 29 sentence to a fine of 40 million euros ($47.64 million), including 20 million euros suspended, for corruption offences dating back to 2018-2019. "Casino will contest the calculation of civil damages adopted by the Paris Criminal Court," it added in a short statement. Former Casino CEO Jean-Charles Naouri - who led the group for 30 years - and three former senior executives were also found guilty of corruption and the dissemination of false or misleading information as part of an organized group, the court said in January.
