>> Pogba case: “an unhealthy being” linked to “organized crime” and follower of witchcraft … Paul Pogba targeted by a new round of accusations from his brother Mathias
These messages do come, according to information from franceinfo, from Mathias Pogba’s phone, but it is not possible, for the moment, to say that it is he who is the author. In front of the investigators, Paul Pogba expresses doubts: “I’m not sure it was my brother who wrote them”said the footballer.
This excerpt from the message mentioned above alludes to the 13 million euros claimed from the footballer in March 2022 by several armed men and in the presence of two of his childhood friends, according to Paul Pogba.
Also in the messages sent, we can also read: “I give you five days to settle everything […] if it’s not done, look carefully at the info”threatens, in capital letters, Mathias Pogba before adding: “Otherwise wallah, before God, I call Mbappé’s daron and all the media in the world I tell them everything in detail”. Kylian Mbappé is mentioned this time because Mathias Pogba claims to have proof that his brother asked a wizard to marabout the PSG player: “I have everything! The photos, the sums of money”he assures.
Mathias Pogba also accuses his brother of being the cause of attacks suffered by him and several of the player’s childhood friends: “I almost died because of your craziness”writes the older brother currently in prison, incarcerated since Saturday September 17 and indicted.
Finally, the investigators are interested in a text message sent by Mathias Pogba to Paul Pogba’s lawyer and agent, Rafaela Pimenta, called “Rafa” by the older brother: “Doing the ostrich never solved the problems, on the contrary”writes Mathias Pogba who adds: “You think about how not to harm your own image […] To your current position as ‘the most powerful woman in football’ […] I will go and see all the media possible, in all the countries possible”threatens Mathias Pogba who claims to want to explain how his brother got “involved in shady deals with criminals who have drawn blood for him”then how his brother “betrayed them to then abandon his loved ones to their fate”.
Mathias Pogba accuses Rafaela Pimenta of being the “partner in crime” of Paul Pogba before writing: “If you persist in playing the ostrich, know that if I die you will have my blood on your hands, my death on your conscience.”
Friday, September 23 in the morning, around thirty videos were published on the Mathias Pogba’s Twitter account. Videos in which he returns to the whole affair which were recorded, according to him, before his incarceration. According to a source close to the investigation contacted by franceinfo, his cell was searched on Friday morning and no video material was found on the spot.
If you are reading this message, my bot will have done its automatic sending job. It also means that I am no longer free, either because of my brother’s henchmen or because of the police. So the slanderous complaints to silence me will have worked.

In these videos, we see Mathias Pogba, facing the camera, who deciphers a text written on large white sheets. He reconsiders the accusations already formulated against his brother whom he qualifies as “manipulative, sneaky, evil, selfish” and even of “criminal”. Also according to him, Paul Pogba joined forces with organized crime to ensure his protection at the start of his career before “turn your back on them without fulfilling your commitments”. Since then, Mathias Pogba has claimed to be the target of these men, just like his family. He evokes several attacks against him and against several childhood friends of Paul Pogba: “My brother is not a hero. He only likes money, we are in danger because of him”he concludes.
