Mathias Pogba is reportedly out of police custody
France and Juventus star Paul Pogba’s older brother Mathias has been released from prison, his lawyer said on Friday.
Mathias, an ex-professional footballer, was arrested in September as one of five suspects for extortion in an organized gang.
Police acted after Paul Pogba filed a complaint with the Prosecutor’s Office in Turin for alleged extortion attempts between March and July 2022, when the men reportedly requested €13 million ($14 million) from the World Cup winner for protection services rendered.
Three months since he was put behind bars, Mathias Pogba has now been released and placed under judicial supervision after a request by his lawyer Yassine Bouzrou on December 15, as reported by Le Parisien.
After the request was accepted by investigating judges overseeing the case, Mathias left the Villepinte remand center in Seine-Saint Denis in northeastern Paris on Friday morning.
