Ribery and Benzema facing charges over prostitution incidenr

Discuss

lolwut, sources would be nice...

Is this the same thing that happened quite a few moons ago or is it a new thing?!

Another? Or that scandal from a few years back?

Have a feeling he somehow read a story from 2 years ago and thought it was recent.

Edit: It's true and it's disastrous.

from what i gather from the article its just the same case from a couple years ago that prosecutors are bringing back to court but the judge already ruled in favor of benz and ribery on the basis that they didnt know she was under 18.

and its also says in the article that the dehar the prostitute still says that they didnt know of her age.

so what, i am not understanding how anything is new in this case. looks to me like yahoo just ran the same article they did a year ago when the trial didnt come to fruition.

I thought they were already acquitted? How can they restart the same case again when they were acquitted?

Someone is paying her to mess with Benzema's Zen

LOOOOL.

Hala Madrid

my sides

I found in a German article that some investigating judge André Dando decided to open the lawsuit after all. It is expected that the lawyers of Ribéry and Benzema will file an objection against opening the lawsuit.

If they were handsome like Dreamboat and Debeauty and could get chicks without paying then this would'nt happen for shame

Nothing will come of it.

Never doubt my GL newsbreaking

Anyway heres where I originally read it:

"Aggravated pimping"

And in 2008 Benzema was like 19-20 years old, the guys hormones were raging.

Now Ribery on the other hand should be ashamed of himself.

BBC News


French football stars Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema are to be called before a judge over allegations that they solicited an underage prostitute.

The pair, both due to play for France against Uruguay on Wednesday, were put under investigation two years ago.

They both deny the claims and the girl involved, Zahia Dehar, has said neither player knew she was 16 at the time.

An investigating magistrate has ruled that they should testify but has not yet set a date.

Magistrate Andre Dandot's decision contradicts the recommendation of Paris prosecutors who said in November 2011 that the case should be closed because the players did not realise she was underage.

Six other individuals have also been called before the tribunal and some of them are facing allegations of aggravating pimping.

Under French law, paid sex with someone under the age of 18 can prompt a punishment of three years in jail and a fine of 45,000 euros (£35,000; $55,000). However, the accused has to be aware of the minor's age.

The Zahia affair, as it became known, emerged two years ago as police investigated claims that a Paris nightclub had given access to underage prostitutes. But the allegations date back to 2008 and 2009.

Representing Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema, lawyer Sylvain Cormier said his client was innocent "and he will give his explanation before the tribunal".

France coach Didier Deschamps said the matter was in judicial hands and did not affect their role on the football pitch or in the national team.

Just gonna paraphrase what Sports said on the other forum.

Girl already admitted that she lied about her age to Benz. Government attorneys wanted to drop the case but judge wants publicity.... He was 20, first offense, no sex involved, etc. Worse he can get is probation if the judge does something crazy.

Ribery is the one in trouble since he actually knew this girl for a while (benz only met her once when ribery brought her) I think judge is targeting ribery and had to bring in both for consistency.

It's not trial btw. It's the french equivalent to grand jury where they decide whether there's enough evidence to take it to trial.

I think fifa and Sepp blatter are trying to get at us, there is a conspiracy here and Plantini is involved.

Theyre lucky they were in France...here in the U.S statutory rape is a strict liability crime
