Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema has been
arrested by French police in relation to the alleged plot to
blackmail Lyon playmaker Mathieu Valbuena, according to reports from Agence
France-Presse.
Benzema is believed to have visited
a judicial police office prior to his arrest in relation to the case that was
opened by the French authorities in July.
The case is reported to centre
around an alleged extortion attempt regarding a sex tape involving France
international Valbuena.
Part of the investigations around
the case also saw former Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse taken into custody and
later released in October.
A statement released by a prosecutor
last month read: “Djibril Cisse was taken into custody (…) in connection with a
judicial investigation opened in the district court of Versailles on July 31
2015.”
