Mathias Pogba defends himself and accuses Paul Pogba again

Paul Pogba's brother Mathias Pogba hit back at Paul last year and claimed that he was waiting for the right moment to reveal everything about his brother.

He has hinted that the witchcraft against Kylian Mbappe is not the only issue and he has proof of more wrongdoing by his brother.

As per DailyMail, Mathias said in his Tiktok video:

"All of Paul's statements, from the hearing at the start of August – before my videos – to the response from his lawyers and the responses, from his supporters, are only intended to drag my name through the mud. So I'm asking myself: why rush to affirm that what I had to say concerned just witchcraft?"

He added:

"Because it would be difficult to talk about the so-called blackmail in this case? So wouldn't it be better to hammer home that the big brother is just a jealous, money-grabbing person, ready to do anything to discredit before he speaks? Isn't that what all false accounts in my name are all about? No, we don't accept conspiracies here!"

Mathias continued:

"The only path to survival that I have is to unveil his lies and his deception. That's why I confirmed his witchcraft because what matters here is not whether it works or whether you believe me or not, it is that it is malicious because these practices expect that you do bad things for their rituals with the will to harm."

French prosecutors confirmed that a judicial investigation was underway but has not reached a conclusion.
