The lawsuit in France demands: 10 months probation and a fine for Karim Benzema
To the full article
The affair began on November 4, 2015, when Benzema was arrested by Versailles police on suspicion of involvement in extortion and Lavonne, a member of the French national team. According to the suspect, the striker served as a contact and mediator for the extortionists, Axel Enio and Mustafa Zawi, who were known as two who regularly accompany the Marseille players and took advantage of this in the case of Velboana, when they replaced him with a mobile device while playing at Stade Velodorum and thus obtained personal materials.
And Buena had contacted the police a few months earlier claiming that people who allegedly hold a sex video in which he participates, are demanding a sum of money in exchange for not distributing it to the public. Jibril Sisa, a former victim of the same conspiracy (paid 15,000 euros in 2008) and who refused to serve as a mediator, was the first detainee to use the name of Karim Zenati, a petty criminal known not only to the police but also to footballers in Lyon. Only thanks to being a childhood friend of Benzema.
At the beginning of the affair, Velboana took the trouble to defend Benzema publicly and explained that the striker acted as a friend and overall tried to help.
But as the affair branched out, and especially after the tapes of the talks between Benzema and Zanatti were searched, during which the Real Madrid striker mocked his teammate and also called him "gay", Velboana's attitude changed and he stated, among other things: "What Benzema did, I would not do even the most My big one.
