He feels justified Mathieu Valbouena by the decision of the French court to sentence Karim Benzema to one year in prison with a suspension and a fine of 75,000 euros for the case of blackmailing his ace Olympic.
«I am pleased that the French judiciary has acknowledged that I was the victim in this case. What I did was my duty as a citizen, appealing to justice not to allow myself to be blackmailed“, Stressed the French midfielder on Radio Monte Carlo.
But he did not stay there, as he blasted the French federation and especially the president, Noel Le Gret, for their stance. «I was surprised, although nothing surprises me in this area. I had little support from the national team, even though it was a criminal case and had nothing to do with sports. Mr. Le Gret, when I was on top of the national team, ran and licked my shoes. When you disappear from the radar, it becomes the main ghost. Maybe he lost my number“, He said bitterly.
Earlier, Le Grett, commenting on the sentencing of Benzema, said: “I support him. He does not deserve this punishment. The case should have been heard much earlier. Here other bigger cases close in six months. Karim has shown that he has overcome it, not only athletically but also on a human level. The federation will not punish him. Today he is a man that everyone appreciates».
