The resounding case of the sequestration in 2022 of footballer Paul Pogba will be judged from November 26 to December 3 before the Paris criminal court, several lawyers told AFP, confirming information from L’Équipe. Six relatives of Paul Pogba, including his brother Mathias, must appear before the 16th criminal chamber, against the backdrop of money extorted from a footballer who became a star, by an entourage who remained in the shadows. The facts date back to March 19, 2022. Three childhood friends and two former acquaintances of Paul Pogba are suspected of having prepared a meeting in the Paris suburbs, during which the player was kidnapped and robbed by two unidentified men, demanding 13 million euros. If the 13 million euros were never transferred, Paul Pogba paid these five relatives nearly 250,000 euros in money and personal effects, according to the referral order from the investigating judges which AFP had became aware of it in September.
