Pogba expresses his desire to move on after his brother’s conviction in an extortion case, focusing on his future.
France international footballer Paul Pogba told AFP on Friday he wanted “to turn the page“ after his brother was sentenced to a three-year prison term, with two years suspended, after a high-profile extortion case.
On Thursday, Mathias Pogba, the elder brother of the footballer, was told he would be able to serve his sentence at home while wearing an electronic device rather than behind bars. Five childhood friends of the player were sentenced up to eight years in prison and handed fines of 20,000 to 40,000 euros, for extortion, kidnapping as well as participation in a criminal gang.“This conclusion is an opportunity for everyone to focus on the future.”
The trial came on top of professional woes for Paul Pogba, whose career has been far from smooth since France's 2018 World Cup win when he scored against Croatia in the final.
