As France Info reports, Pogba Sr. states that Paul went to a sorcerer to curse Mbappé for reasons unknown, with Mathias calling his brother “a Muslim deeply into sorcery”.

Pogba made a statement to France’s organized crime branch that he was being blackmailed by the group.
A source close to the case told AFP that French police had launched an investigation into the alleged multi-million-euro extortion scheme.

Mathias said; “All of Paul’s statements, from the hearing in early August – before my videos – to the responses from his lawyers and the responses from his supporters, are just to drag my name through the dirt,” Mathias Pogba said in his latest video. on TikTok.
“So I ask myself: why be so quick to claim that what I had to say was only about witchcraft?
The Extortion Case

So wouldn’t it be better to hit that big brother is just a jealous, money-hungry person who is willing to do anything to discredit them before they speak? Isn’t that what all the fake accounts in my name are about? No, we don’t accept conspiracies here!
Further revelations claim that the World champion paid 100,000 euros ($100,000) to an organized group, which included his brother, who was trying to extort millions from him.

French prosecutors are investigating allegations that Pogba was blackmailed by his brother Mathias Pogba and childhood friends. They demanded 13 million euros from the French midfielder and repeatedly bullied him, claiming that he did not support them after becoming an international football star.
An official close to the investigation confirmed to the Associated Press on Tuesday that Pogba had told investigators he had already paid €100,000. The official spoke on condition of anonymity, in line with official practice during an ongoing investigation.
According to French media reports, Paul Pogba told investigators that the blackmailers wanted to discredit him, claiming he asked a healer to cast a spell on another French star, Kylian Mbappe. Paul Pogba denied the allegation.
