More details are coming out in the Karim Benzema-Mathieu Valbuena sextape blackmail case, and the details are salacious.
To recap, after going into custody on Wednesday, the 28-year-old Real Madrid was kept in jail overnight, and on Thursday he was charged with involvement in the blackmail saga.
As reported by Eurosport via the AFP, one source has made the following claims to the news agency:
Karim Benzema has recognised that he intervened with Valbuena at the request of a childhood friend approached by three crooks who had a sextape in their possession.
He said that he agreed with a childhood friend about what he would say in order that his team-mate would negotiate exclusively with him.
Benzema also stands accused of having discussed the matter with his international teammate Valbuena in October when France met up for matches against Armenia and Denmark.
Now French news outlet M6 (as reported by Get French Football News) are reporting that there is evidence to back up those allegations.
Benzema has reportedly been recorded on a phone call talking directly about the Valbuena sextape. The Los Blancos forward apparently said:
Do not worry. He has no choice. I’ll make him understand. He’ll pay.
M6 further comment that it will now be up to the court to decide whether Benzema was being serious on the wiretap.
In the worst case scenario, Benzema could be looking at five years in jail.
