Upon learning of the existence of a program prepared by journalists Sébastien Tarrago and Jules Bian-Rosa, which must be broadcast next Thursday at 9 p.m. by our colleagues from La Chaine L’Équipe (from Tuesday for their subscribers), the ex- leader of the Blues jumped. While he awaits the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), after appealing his 4-year suspension for doping, Paul Pogba would have done well without such publicity. According to our information, his entourage put pressure on the channel’s management so that the issue of L’Équipe Enquête, entitled “Paul Pogba, toxic liaisons”, which is dedicated to him, be deprogrammed.

And for good reason, since the program – which the JDD was able to watch – retraces, point by point, all the tragic events he has gone through in recent years. Starting with the attempted racketeering, with kidnapping (and threat with firearms), of which he was the victim and which involved six of his (ex) relatives. Extremely well documented, the program sheds new light on the affair. Essential element: one of the defendants’ lawyers accuses him of having made clearly contradictory remarks in his accusations, and leaves doubt as to the possibility of prosecuting him for concealed work. As we write these lines, the courts have still not decided whether or not to open a trial.
This issue of L’Équipe Enquête also goes into detail about the constant racketeering of which the player was allegedly a victim. Particularly concerning the pressures he suffered to open the doors of his equipment supplier (Adidas) to his troublesome “friends”. We learn, among other things, that in one day, they forced him to push the brand to offer them nearly 60,000 euros worth of products! Uplifting. Furthermore, the program contains the first exclusive interview with Mathias Pogba, since the lunar videos that he posted at the time, and which incriminated his brother. As a reminder, he had criticized him in particular for having had Kylian Mbappé “marabouted”. Which marabout also gave an interview to journalists…
A sum of reasons therefore, for the midfielder of Juventus Turin, to fear the images that viewers will be able to discover next week. Because according to our information, the channel has not given in to pressure and intends to broadcast its documentary in its entirety.
