…As Brother, Mathias Threatens To Expose Football Star
Paul Pogba, a French professional footballer has revealed that his brother Mathias and a “group-organised criminals” are allegedly attempting to defraud him of over £11m.
The 29-year-old Juventus star shockingly revealed this via a statement through his lawyer on Sunday, August 28 2022.
The disclosure comes after Mathias used his social media platform to threaten the publication of “great revelations” about his younger brother.
New agencies have revealed that the French police have opened an investigation into the allegations, which France TV claims involves an alleged €13million (£11m) blackmail attempt.
In response to Mathias’ video, a statement has been issued on behalf of Paul Pogba, his mother Yeo Moriba and his lawyer Rafaela Pimenta. “Mathias Pogba’s recent statements on social media are unfortunately no surprise,” the statement read.
“They are in addition to threats and group-organised extortion attempts against Paul Pogba. The relevant authorities in Italy and France were contacted a month ago and there will be no further comments in relation to the ongoing investigation.”
In a video posted on social media on Saturday, Mathias Pogba, who has played professional football at various levels across Europe, promised unspecified “explosive revelations” about his brother and Pimenta.
“If I make this video, I believe that the French, Italian, English, Spanish supporters, which means the whole world, as well as my brother’s fans, and even more, the French team and Juventus, my brother’s teammates and his sponsors deserve to know certain things, in order to decide, in full knowledge of the facts, if he really deserves the admiration, respect and love of the public,” he said, in words translated from French.
“There will be many elements and testimonies to confirm my words. All of this is likely to be explosive and make a lot of noise.”
