The Pogba trial continued this Friday at the Paris Criminal Court. While five of the six defendants have been heard, Mathias Pogba, Paul's brother, remains the only one who has not yet testified. Despite the president's desire to question him, the hearing was ultimately postponed.
As Ouest France tells it, at 9:10 p.m., after a day of endless debates, the president announced her intention to hear Mathias, sparking strong opposition in the room. Maître Mbeko Tabula, Mathias' lawyer, protests: “How, in the country of human rights, can we hear someone in these conditions? He risks prison. He is gambling with his life. We are not in China here. » For his part, Mathias, who has been attending the debates for four days without intervening, claims to be in no condition to respond.
A calendar problem in sight
Even Maître Carine Piccio, Paul Pogba's lawyer, is asking for a suspension. After consultation, the president finally postponed the hearing to Tuesday, December 3 at 9:30 a.m., the last scheduled day of the trial. But this postponement poses an obvious logistical problem: a single day will not be enough to conclude, forcing the president to consider an extension, “Wednesday, Thursday or the following week”.
