Lavezzi blackmail victim of sextape

Once again Ezequiel Lavezzi has hit the headlines. While he is currently in quarantine on the island of Saint-Barthélemy with his partner - the Brazilian Natalia Borgnes -, the former Paris-Saint-Germain striker is the victim of sextape blackmail but, according to the Argentinian daily La Nación, he decided to file a complaint. With his lawyer Mauricio d'Alessandro, he filed two complaints with the Buenos Aires prosecution.

It was on the networks that Lavezzi was the victim of blackmail, of people threatening to broadcast photos and videos of his private life if the footballer did not pay 5,000 dollars for each of them. A relative of the case explained in the columns of La Nacion : "These people tell him that they have their videos and conversations and they give the details of the content. So it's completely believable. Even if everything was wrong, it would still be extortion. ” 

Retired since December

"El Pocho" is not his first concern with the dissemination of photos of his intimate life. In 2014, photos of him and a young woman (his companion at the time Yanina Screpante) in full intimate debate had circulated on  Twitter . On these three pictures, we saw the Argentine attacker wearing a police cap "Village People" in rather suggestive positions. These three pictures had been erased fairly quickly.

Lavezzi retired last December, after having spent three seasons in China, at the Hebei China Fortune. Under the colors of Paris Saint-Germain between 2012 and 2016, the Argentinian had scored 35 goals in 161 matches.
