Benzema was suspected of acting as an intermediary in an extortion attempt by Mathieu Valbuena, in order not to spread a sex film in which the national team colleague had participated.
Benzema was suspended from national team games and did not return to "Les Bleus" until the European Championships this summer.
Following a trial in Versailles outside Paris, the verdict has now been handed down and it landed on a one-year suspended sentence and fine.
The football star, on a daily basis at Real Madrid, has previously tried to get the investigation closed as he believes that the police used dishonest methods to involve him in the case.
The Frenchman himself says that he tried to help his friend Valbuena out of a difficult situation.
