French authorities have detained the elder brother of Paul Pogba, Mathias, and three others in an investigation into the exortion alleged by the France national team and Juventus football star. According to two sources close to the Pogba family, large sums of money were being demanded from Paul Pogba if he wanted to avoid the dissemination of allegedly compromising videos. He told investigators that his blackmailers wanted to discredit him by claiming he asked a marabout (holy man) to cast a spell on the Paris Saint-Germain and France star Kylian Mbappe, which Pogba denies.
