Six individuals, including Mathias Pogba, the brother of French international footballer Paul Pogba, were handed prison sentences ranging from three to eight years today, Thursday, December 19, 2024, after being convicted of attempting to extort the player.
Mathias Pogba, however, will serve his one-year sentence under electronic monitoring instead of imprisonment. The court also imposed a fine of 20,000 euros on Mathias for his involvement in the attempted extortion of 13 million euros (approximately $13.5 million) from Paul Pogba in 2022.
