For a case from 2015, Karim Benzema will go to trial for complicity in a blackmail case with a video of sexual content
French footballer Karim Benzema (Real Madrid) will be tried for complicity in the case of blackmail with a video of sexual content to also player Mathieu Valbuena, the prosecution of the Court of Versailles announced on Thursday.
“The decision to take him to court is an absurd and unjust ferocity,” the player’s lawyer, Sylvain Cormier, told Efe, for whom “Benzema has nothing to complain about in this summary.” .
The case dates back to 2015, when two men who had an alleged intimate video of Valbuena with his wife tried to blackmail him and in the face of his refusal contacted a childhood friend of Benzema to obtain the mediation of the ‘madridista, who spoke to the victim during a rally of the French team.
