Paul Pogba’s brother placed under investigation

Mathias Pogba, Paul Pogba’s elder brother has been incarcerated and placed under investigation following his appearance before an examining judge, Saturday, September 17th.

The 32-year-old admitted to being behind a bizarre video published online on August 27 promising “great revelations” about the Juventus player and French national team member.

It was revealed that Paul Pogba handed over €100,000 (£85,000) after being escorted at gunpoint to a flat in Roissy-en-Brie, in the eastern suburb of Paris, in March.

The former Manchester United midfielder has alleged that he was ordered to pay ‘protection money’ worth €1m a year, from the age of 16 when he first became a professional footballer.

He is said to have attempted to withdraw the full amount but was not authorised by his bank.
