Mathias Pogba is sentenced to three years in prison, with two years probation, for being involved in the extortion attempt against his own brother.
The sentence, effectively one year, can be served with an electronic tag. Mathias Pogba is also fined SEK 230,000.
He is in shock. From the beginning, he has maintained his innocence and said that he was manipulated, that he was forced, that he was pressured, says defense attorney Mbeko Tabula about his client.
It was in 2022 that the French Juventus star Paul Pogba was allegedly pressured for money by an organized gang.
Mathias Pogba, who also plays soccer but represents Ghana, was one of six people involved in the extortion attempt – three of the other perpetrators are childhood friends of Paul Pogba.
The mastermind behind the extortion is sentenced to eight years in prison.
