A brother of the World Cup winner Paul Pogba was sentenced to three years in prison – two of which are suspended – by a Paris criminal court on Thursday in an extortion and kidnapping case.
Mathias Pogba has already spent time in detention and the remainder of the sentence will be served under house arrest with electronic monitoring. This sentence was in line with the prosecution’s request. His lawyer said he would probably appeal against the ruling.
