A confrontation between Paul Pogba and his brother Mathias as well as five other of his alleged blackmailers is scheduled for Friday September 15.
More than a year after the start of the Pogba affair, the investigation should see a major breakthrough in the next few days. According to RMC Sport, Paul Pogba is summoned on Friday September 15 to the office of the examining magistrates, at the Paris court, as well as the six men accused of having wanted to blackmail him. Among them, his brother Mathias.
According to the tricolor world champion, Mathias Pogba is at the heart of the extortion attempt of which he was the victim in the spring of 2022. He has also been indicted for “attempted extortion and association of criminal criminals” . According to him, the Turin midfielder was sequestered in an apartment in Seine-et-Marne on the eve of finding the Blues in Clairefontaine. Two hooded and armed men had threatened him, demanding no less than 13 million in return for his safety and that of his relatives.
Paul Pogba had withdrawn 100,000 euros to calm his torturers and had subsequently received a visit from his “friends” in Turin, which he had decided to file a complaint. The first investigations had led to the indictment of six men, including his brother Mathias, who had been imprisoned for a time, and several other childhood friends. The investigating judges rely on this confrontation in order to establish the specific role of each protagonist.
Mathias Pogba had been on the front line after the broadcast of videos in which he made several accusations against his brother, claiming in particular that he had paid a marabout to cast a spell on Kylian Mbappé before the Champions League match between PSG and Manchester United.
