Full story about it.

Paul Pogba tells investigators that his brother is part of a €13m blackmail attempt​

France Info have provided new revelations from police sources this Sunday night in the extraordinary developing story involving France World Cup winner and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, who has notably informed police investigators that his brother, Mathias, has been part of a concerted effort to blackmail him for €13m.

The matter came to light yesterday through the publication of a video on social media by Mathias Pogba, who claimed he was about the expose major revelations about his brother, Kylian Mbappé and Rafaela Pimenta. This announcement by the striker was then followed on Sunday by an official communiqué from Paul Pogba’s camp, affirming that the ex-Manchester United man was currently the subject of a blackmail attempt.
It has since been confirmed that French prosecutors have opened an investigation into the possible “attempted blackmail by an organised gang.” Mathias Pogba then took to social media to claim that the media was attempting to spin things and that his brother has lied to Italian authorities.
But France Info have now procured details relating to the French investigation – and they are jaw-dropping.

During various interviews with the authorities, Paul Pogba is understood to have said that he was trapped by childhood friends and two hooded men armed with assault rifles during an incident in Paris. A gang that demanded €13m from him, of which his brother Mathias Pogba would be a part.

The 2018 world champion claims to be the victim of threats and attempted extortion from his older brother and childhood friends.
Paul Pogba has confided to Organised Crime division investigators that he was temporarily trapped by childhood friends and two hooded men armed with assault rifles. According to him, the gang demanded €13m from him and has intimidated him several times since, including at the Juventus training centre in Turin, where he told the police that he recognised his brother Mathias Pogba among the suspects.

Between March 25th and 29th, when the French national team hosted Côte d’Ivoire and South Africa in friendly matches, Paul Pogba took the opportunity to visit his family in Lagny-sur-Marne. Friends are then alleged to have dragged him to an apartment in Paris, where they blamed him for not helping them financially since he became a professional player. Among them, two armed men demanded €13m for “services rendered,” claiming that they had protected him discreetly for 13 years.

The 2018 world champion assured investigators that he had seen his blackmailers several times, notably in April in Manchester, then in July at the Juventus training centre in Turin. It was in Turin that he recognised his brother Mathias, with whom he has a difficult relationship, among the people he accuses of intimidating him. After this episode, Paul Pogba approached his club’s lawyers who decided to notify the police.
During his police interviews, the Juventus player explained to investigators from the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police that he had always been close to his childhood friends and that he had never hesitated to help them financially when they were in the need, until last January, when he kicked a friend out of his house who he was hosting in Manchester. He had done so because he had realised that this individual had used his credit card to steal €200,000 from him.

Investigators, according the media outlet, understand Kylian Mbappé to be linked to the affair only through Paul Pogba mentioning the fact that his blackmailers wanted to discredit him and thus put further pressure on him to pay up by spreading false messages including that he would have asked a witch doctor from inside his family circle to cast a spell on Kylian Mbappé, which the player denied to be true.

Anyone checking out Napoli vs Forentina and see if we really missed out on Milenković? LOL

 

[Ethor]

Was Benzema involved somehow, with video tapes?

 

[#NotForMe]

It seems like Inzaghi is actually a lot better in bringing the ball forward to the attacking third than Spalletti.

 

[YoramG]

Fiorentina and Napoli have both built quality teams over the past couple of years. Barak and Amrabat would have been excellent options for us, and Napoli's new signings look good too.

 

[Dave54]

0-0 would be great from standings perspective, considering the loss to Lazio.

 

[GoldenRetriever]

Now that Lukaku is injured and we are playing without proper lwb and if we lose to Cremonese and beelan, maybe chinese frauds sack Limone.. I am already sick and tired of that coward. Fuck him and his bum Acerbi.

Bro we are not losing against cremonese calma

 

[ElDuccio]

no one won all 3 games, could say already a lot about this league. Yes Inter always did that by drawing the first one, even the Inter that won 5 consecutive scudettos. But i feel like every year there was always some teams that won the first games tbh.

It means it's very competitive. Or does that only apply to specific leagues that have powerful propaganda machines?

i think everyone is having a difficult start this year, that's what i want to say. I watched at least 1 game of each top team and no one really impressed me for now..

 

[magnesium]

All of top 4 teams still have weak link. Milan with right side, Rube with no exist LB and midfield, Roma defense, and Napoli full back.

If only Suning give all Gren light to Marotta, i am sure our Mercato better and Scudetto chance higher.

All teams had same chance to win Scudetto, i am sure Injury and World cup will decided Scudetto this year.

 

[phonk]

Placed 150€ on a combined bet for Man City and an undisclosed Serie A team to win the league. I expect to pocket 800€+ for that bet fairly easily. Wish I bet earlier since the odds shifted in a less profitable direction after the last matchday in Italy

 

[armendsh]

If Napoli Buy Keylor navas and Ronaldo
I think we can automatically forget the second and first place
If we get lucky maybe Third

Ronaldo would be a bad purchase for Napoli. He doesn't offer anything as a winger at this point in his career, and he's a downgrade from Osimhen.

 

[NimAraya]

Ronaldo to Napoli doesn't make any sense. He wants to play in the CL so going to Roma doesn't make sense either.

NEW YORK YANKEES AND LEBRON JAMES TO INVEST IN SERIE A CHAMPIONS MILAN​

The New York Yankees and NBA star Lebron James are about to invest in Serie A champions Milan.

The Financial Times have reported that baseball outfit Yankees, who are owned by the Steinbrenner family, and Main Street Advisors, the LA-based fund that has LeBron James as an investor, famed music producer Jimmy Iovine and rapper Drake, will become shareholders in the Serie A team.

The information to FT has come from two people close to the situation and RedBird are expected to announce information on shareholders on Wednesday, as that is when they will officially take over from Elliot Management.

The Yankees are also shareholders in Manchester City and MLS side New York City FC. RedBird founder Gerry Cardinale had worked with the Yankees for quite a substantial time and the baseball side are expected to work quite closely with the Rossoneri to help them increase their off-field revenues and the Serie A champions could also have a part of their programming on the YES Network.

One more reason to hate Yankees and LeBron.

Great, now Milan is owned by a competent business while we're stuck with the Chinese Sears.
