March 21 (Reuters) - A former director of Tesla Inc's Australian unit was sentenced to two years and six
months imprisonment and will be released immediately on the
condition of "good behaviour", Australia's corporate watchdog
said on Tuesday.
The sentence follows the former director's guilty pleas to
two insider trading offences tied to a supply deal the
electric-car maker signed with Piedmont Lithium Inc in
2020, according to the Australian Securities and Investments
Commission.
