Ten months suspended prison sentence required against Benzema

Time for requisitions. On the second day of Karim Benzema’s trial in the Mathieu Valbuena sextape case, the Versailles prosecutor’s office asked the criminal court to pronounce a ten-month suspended prison sentence and a 75,000 euros fine against the player of the Real Madrid.

The Blues striker is on trial alongside four other men for blackmailing Valbuena, threatening to reveal a sex video if he did not pay to prevent it from being broadcast. He was dismissed for complicity in attempted blackmail.

Against the four other defendants, prosecuted in this case for attempted blackmail, the public prosecutor requested sentences ranging from 18 months in prison suspended to four years in prison.

The verdict is expected tomorrow Friday.
