Almost not absent during the trial of the sextape blackmail case exercised in 2015 on his former team team of France, Mathieu Vallbuena, the star striker of the blues Karim Benzema had to have wind, since the Spain, where he prepares the next match of his Real Madrid Club, the content of the requisitions of the public prosecutor.
“benzema carries moral values, hope for people, notoriety and an image,” said the prosecutor, Julien Eyraud, before requiring, Thursday, October 21, the Criminal Court of Versailles, a sentence of ten months of suspended prison and 75,000 euros fine against footballer, pursued for “complicity of blackmail attempt.”
At the end of six years of procedure, Karim Benzema is suspected of attempted on October 6, 2015, at the Blues Headquarters in Clairefontaine (Yvelines), to convince Mathieu Valbuena to meet his childhood friend, Karim Zenati . The latter then played the role of intermediary for two masters presumed, Axel Angot and Mustapha Zouaoui, who wanted to obtain a financial reward in exchange for the destruction of a sexual video staging Mr. Valbuena on which the tandem had put the hand.
“Benzema is not the good Samaritan who came to the rescue of his teammate, he is an accomplice and acted to allow the negotiators to arrive for their purposes and the masters singers to get the amount they were waiting for “Ségolène Marenes said, parquet representative. According to her, it is after having vainly asked for the former attacker of the Blues Djibril Cisse and another intermediary, Younes Houass, to convince Mr Valbuena to “pay”, that Mr. Zouaoui turned to Karim Zenati .
“Benzema’s intervention is an additional pressure. He associates himself with the project, the strategy was prepared and the method was softer but also more insidious,” develops Ms. Mares while pointing “team authority of France “of the attacker. “Mr. Benzema is going to believe in Valbuena that he saw the video, will swear on his daughter’s head that there is no copy, he credibilates the masters singers saying that the intermediaries were serious. “
On the Civil Party Bench, the lawyer of Mr. Valbuena, Mr. Paul-Albert Iweins, denounced “the betrayal of a teammate” and the “sordid maneuvers” which would have, according to him, put a term in November 2015 at the career of his client in France team.
