He is the defendant with the most media coverage, but the least judicially involved. The one whose surname gave the name to this affair which he unpacked without precaution, but of which he is not the victim. Mathias Pogba, 34, is the big brother of Paul, the former Blues midfielder. Tried for attempted extortion and criminal conspiracy, this footballer with a modest career is suspected of having taken part in the blackmail attempt to which his illustrious cadet was the subject. Questioned at length this Tuesday by the court, Mathias Pogba gave the image of a man overwhelmed by a gloomy story, aware of having “made 1 million mistakes during a month”, but still locked in an ambivalent relationship with his cadet.
Mathias Pogba is not concerned by the genesis of this file: the robbery of which Paul Pogba was the victim on the night of March 19 to 20, 2022 in an apartment in Seine-et-Marne where he had been taken by five friends of childhood, all tried for kidnapping and sequestration. That night, two hooded and armed men, never identified, ordered him to pay 13 million euros to ensure his protection.
