The sum of 230,000 euros, which the Versailles court ordered Karim Benzema to pay to Mathieu Valbuena during its judgment in the sextape case in November, was deducted from the Real Madrid striker’s account, a learned AFP Thursday, January 27 from a source close to the file. As he did not pay the 230,000 euros requested by Mathieu Valbuena under the civil action, the defense of the latter had this sum seized via a bailiff from a French bank account of Karim Benzema on Friday January 21. This caused a partial blocking of this account, said a source familiar with the matter. The defense of Karim Benzema had asked to place this sum of 230,000 euros in sequestration pending the appeal trial.
