Real Madrid star Benzema goes on trial in sextape case

Real Madrid's French forward Karim Benzema is to face trial for complicity in an attempt to blackmail in a case linked to a sex tape featuring his former France teammate Mathieu Valbuena , on October 20, 2021, at the Versailles Correctional Court.

The case cost both Benzema and 37-year-old Valbuena their place in the French national team, although Benzema was restored to the lineup for this year’s European championship. Prosecutors says he then explored ways — together with a friend, Mustapha Zouaoui — to approach Valbuena and threaten publication of the footage unless he paid them.

Cisse, who played for Premier League club Liverpool during his career, was initially charged in the case, but later cleared. He told his teammate that he could introduce him to a “trustworthy person” to help him “manage” the possible publication of a compromising video. “If he doesn’t want us to handle this for him, he’ll have to deal with the piranhas,” Zenati said, claiming later that all he wanted to do was alert Valbuena to the existence of the video.
