Karim Benzema Found Guilty of Blackmailing Fellow Teammate in Sex Tape Saga!

Karim Benzema Found Guilty of Blackmailing Fellow Teammate in Sex Tape Saga! This is a scandal which dates to June 2015.

Real Madrid and French national team forward Karim Benzema have been found guilty of blackmailing former French teammate Mathieu Valbuena. He has been given a one-year suspended sentence and fined R1.3 million.

Karim Benzema has always stated his innocence, since the saga started in 2015.

French attacker Mathieu Valbuena had a sexual video of himself and an 18-year-old girl on his personal phone. This video was found by four other men, as he attempted to transfer the video to his latest phone device.

These men then attempted to blackmail Valbuena. They wanted physical cash in exchange of the silence of the video.

They threatened to go public with the video. In June 2015, at a France national team camp, Benzema urged Valbuena to pay off these blackmailers.

Valbuena then sought the help of French police, who initiated a sting operation.

The Real Madrid forward has been an accomplice, aiding and abetting the blackmail of Valbuena.

Since then, both players were banned from the French national team. They missed out on being part of the 2018 FIFA World Cup winning team in Russia.

Karim Benzema has since been recalled to the national team by Didier Deschamps. He was part of the team that won the Nations League in Italy recently.

Despite Benzema being charged, the French FA have insisted that whatever outcome of the court case, he will not be removed from the national team anymore.

The forward will be part of Real Madrid’s squad to play in the UEFA Champions League this evening. Karim Benzema Found Guilty of Blackmailing Fellow Teammate in Sex Tape Saga!
