>> Pogba case: what his second hearing by the investigators reveals
In July, several strangers showed up in front of Paul Pogba’s mother’s apartment, Yeo Moriba. She opens the door for them and finds herself facing a small group who claim to have protected her son Paul for years, “against people who wished him harm“.
In return, the individuals claim 13 million euros. Without that, they claim that they will reveal a recording which proves that Paul Pogba paid a marabout to cast a spell on Kylian Mbappé, which the player also contradicts in this same hearing. He admits having paid money to a marabout for a humanitarian association that helps children in Africa, and not to cast a spell on the star striker of PSG.
The argument is more or less the same as that used by the blackmailers who would have sequestered Pogba in the spring, according to the statements of the player. Faced with Yéo Moriba, the individuals also express the dissatisfaction of a childhood friend whom Paul Pogba hosted in Manchester before dismissing him because this “roommate” allegedly stole 200,000 euros from him with his credit card.
This episode led Paul Pogba’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, to contact the France team’s security officer to seek protection for the player’s mother. The investigators, who seek to shed light on this moment, heard the boss of the security of the France team. The Paris prosecutor’s office has open a judicial investigation against Xand theThe investigations into the extortion denounced by the star of the French football team and Juventus Turin have been entrusted to two investigating judges from the Paris court.
