Karim Benzema will not be present at the Criminal Court of Versailles (Yvelines), Wednesday, November 24, for the reading of the deliberation in the so-called “sex-tape” case. “The prosecutors demanded against the Real Madrid player ten months suspended sentence and a 75,000 euro fine. They recalled the duty of the French star to set an example. The defense lawyers, for their part, pleaded for the release. “, recalls the journalist Guillemette Halard live in front of the criminal court of Versailles.

Beyond the legal issues, a question arises concerning the rest of the striker’s career: could a sanction cost him the Golden Ball? “Karim Benzema had already been removed five years from the French selection before his return for Euro 2021. Noël Le Graët, the boss of the French Football Federation, has in any case already assured that the player will not be excluded from the French selection in the event of legal sanctions “, specifies Guillemette Halard.
