The Paul Pogba extortion case continues, and authorities in France have arrested a new suspect, according to Calciomercato.
The Juventus midfielder has been the subject of a long extortion plot by his childhood friends and brother.
Unbeknownst to the public, he had been threatened in France and Italy, but kept his ordeal private.
However, his brother Mathias released a video in which he stated that he wanted to reveal the midfielder’s secrets.
It was then that Pogba’s team revealed that they threatened him and asked him to pay a huge sum of money.
The midfielder is now under police protection in Turin, with the report stating that the investigation will continue.
Juve FC says
The last thing we need is for Pogba to have a problem off the pitch. This was a problem he had during his time at Manchester United and it overshadowed his contributions on the pitch.
The World Cup winner hasn’t even played for the Bianconeri since moving to the club.
He hopes to return from injury, just before the World Cup. Hopefully, this matter would have been fully resolved by then.
What we need now is success on the pitch, and this is a great distraction that should be away from the club.
