Paul Pogba’s brother faces one year in prison in extortion and kidnapping trial | OneFootball

According to a report by L’Équipe and RMC Sport, the prosecution in the case investigating Paul Pogba’s (31) extortion and kidnapping have requested that the six defendants, including Pogba’s brother Mathias, face prison.

The prosecution asked for Mathias to serve a three-year sentence two of which would be suspended and a fine of €10,000, which was the most lenient demand. Mathias could face a reduction of the fixed sentence (either house arrest or an electronic bracelet).

Boubacar C. could serve a five-year sentence two of which would be suspended, a deferred committal order, a fine of €20,000, and a ten-year ban on carrying a weapon. Machikour K. could have a five-year sentence, three suspended, a fine of €20,000, and a ten-year ban on carrying a weapon.

The prosecution demanded Adama C. face a five-year sentence with one year suspended, a committal order, a € 20,000 fine, and a ban on carrying a weapon for ten years. Mamadou M. was similarly provided with a five-year sentence but with 18 months suspended, a €20,000 fine, and a ban on carrying a weapon for ten years.

The harshest demand was for Roushdane K who could face eight years in prison, a €20,000 fine, and a ban on carrying a weapon for ten years.

The lawyers for Machikour K. and Mathias Pogba both requested that their clients be acquitted. The case is ongoing with the rest of the defence set to make their arguments later today.
