Karim Benzema's involvement in the Mathieu Valbuena blackmail plot just got more serious.
A radio station in France, Europe 1, has leaked a wiretapped conversation that Benzema had with friends in relation to his involvement with the blackmail plot against his France teammate, Mathieu Valbuena.
Last week, Benzema was charged with 'complicity to blackmail', which could (but is unlikely to) carry a jail sentence of five years.
According to Europe 1, Benzema allegedly said:
"I don’t think Mathieu is taking us seriously, he thinks it’s a joke.
The incriminating material came as part of a 20-minute conversation between Benzema and an unidentified man on 6th October – while Benzema was on international duty with France.
