Real Madrid and France striker Karim Benzema was questioned on Wednesday as part of an investigation into blackmailing international teammate Mathieu Valbuena over a sex tape and the player has now been charged by the concerned authorities.
If found guilty, Benzema faces upto 5 years in prison and a fine upto €75,000. His involvement with the French squad is also likely to be over as he would not be allowed to be in contact with Valbuena, who is likely to be picked for the high-profile friendlies against Germany and England on 14th and 18th November respectively.
Karim Benzema has missed football action ever since injuring his hamstring on during France’s match with Armenia on October 8 and with this news coming out, it looks like he will be out for a while.
The French striker took to Facebook after news of him being charged by the French police.
