Pogba's brother, five others, on trial for blackmailing him • FRANCE 24 English

Six men linked to France midfielder Paul Pogba, including one of his brothers, went on trial in Paris on Tuesday accused of blackmail, attempted extortion of millions of euros and holding the player at gunpoint. The case at the Paris criminal court has shocked the French football world -- all the more so because the alleged perpetrators include three childhood friends and Pogba's own brother Mathias.

Destroying your brother's career is like shooting your own foot

[duickjr]

The saddest part about the whole affair is that Pogba probably gave him a decent amount of money and other benefits already but he was still looking for MORE!

[Healingson]

Pogba said he didn’t like having money because it changed people around him and now I see what he meant by that 💔

[Neftegna]

The worst enemies are sometimes your own families

[samoryTure]

"For not helping them financially." How about you go get a job and go to work?

[averagebeastt]

How can you do that to your own blood let alone your own little brother?? Absolutely insane to me.

[yellayettithemythical]

What an embarrassment to your entire family. You tried your own brother for money you wasteman

[DawGamin]

I actually feel bad for him. He grew up poor with those people around him, he helped more than others would and still got backstabbed.

[JackTheStrippa]

Kidnapped your younger brother at gunpoint? is money worth all that.
I feel sorry for Paul, in the space of a a year he lost his whole family and almost lost his career smh

[vChilly]

I hope Paul gets away from this, seeing your own brother try to ruin you when you've made it in life is so sad.

[phiakate]

there is no one who hates your success like family

[inerit]

The LOVE of money is the root of ALL evil.

[nalaabdou]

Reminds me of Emmanuel Adebayor who's brother sent a letter to the president of the club he was playing with to try and get him fired from the team because he told him to wait a little when the brother ask for a certain somme of money

[richmindset]

Very awkward see his mother behind him like who she gonna support in this situation

[MEESTA]

The worst part of it all is that they cunningly bare the same resemblances! That's tough and embarrassing.

[maximumpotential]

This happens in more families than you can imagine. When one brother is the cash cow, the others will try to squeeze him as much as they can.

[gabrielparadis]

To be honest, the reason he probably did not support them financialy is because of this. He knew his brothers were no good

[eyobgebreselassie]

Just imagine trying to hurt your younger brother and end his career. What an embarrassing sad world we're living. They should be imprisoned for life.

[saboryagasabo]

Damn, that spell has been working lately!

[kevin]

Who does this to their own brother? Lock em up, throw away the key.
