It is this Thursday, December 5, that the trial of the Pogba affair ends, where six defendants are accused of having attempted to extort 13 million euros from the French international Paul Pogba in 2022, with violence with weapons and threats to his life. The debates were heated this Wednesday, with testimony and pleadings, but above all the presence of vindictive groups in the court. As a result, tensions prevented the day from going well on Wednesday, with “ loved ones » of the Pogba Brothers who “ tried to intimidate » certain defendants according to the defendants' lawyers.
The police had to be called and the group officially present as spectators was asked to leave the premises. As a result, for this last day, the security of the court was reinforced so that the debates and pleadings took place under normal conditions. Proof that serenity is not necessarily required when the defense has the floor this Thursday and the absence of Paul Pogba has been singled out on several occasions. This even if the footballer is indeed the victim in this case of extortion, threats, criminal conspiracy and kidnapping, which also includes his brother Mathias Pogba, who risks three years in prison.
