In March 2022, Paul Pogba was kidnapped by hooded individuals. Two years later, his brother Matias, suspected of having been involved in the deal, insists he was just a puppet.
The Paul Pogba affair is not over yet. Following his kidnapping in March 2022, the 2018 world champion took the case to court. It then turned out that his brother, Mathias Pogba, was involved in the story, with the kidnappers demanding the sum of 13 million euros. On Tuesday April 02, Agence France Presse added another piece to the story. AFP revealed behind-the-scenes details of Mathias Pogba's hearing before investigators on January 25, 2024. And while he had publicly rebuked his younger brother, the eldest of the siblings gave a completely different version. He claimed to have been manipulated.
"I've been lied to from the start," Mathias Pogba told investigators, reportedly moved to tears. The former Guinea international (05 caps) also had words for his brother."I hope to see him again as soon as possible (...) It will take as long as it takes, but I hope that our union will be reconsolidated."
Mathias Pogba also returned to the videos he posted on social networks. In them, he directly attacked the Juventus midfielder, accusing him of ingratitude and abandoning them.Which, according to him, was just an act. "I wanted to get the rage out" but "at no point put pressure on him." It should be noted that in this case, which is still ongoing, the two main suspects Adama C (a childhood friend of the player) and Mamadou M, are close relatives of the Pogba siblings.
