The older brother of former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has been sentenced to three years in prison, suspended for two years, after being convicted of trying to extort money from the French footballer.
Mathias Pogba, who was also fined €20,000 (£16,500), will avoid jail and will instead spend a year wearing an electronic bracelet.
Five other men were found guilty of extortion and other crimes, and on Thursday a Paris court received sentences ranging from four to eight years.
Paul Pogba, 31, said he “was deceived by childhood friends” who held him at gunpoint in 2022 and demanded €13 million. He said he paid them €100,000 (£82,600).
