Pogba accused of asking a witch doctor to cast a spell on Mbappe

Juventus star Paul Pogba has lodged a complaint to the police and stated that a gang is attempting extortion of £13 million from him.

He is also being threatened that the gang would reveal that he attempted to cast a spell on Mbappe with the help of a witch doctor.

Pogba claims that in a bid to put pressure on him to give in to their €13m blackmail attempts, the gang told him they would leak that the Juventus player asked a witch doctor in his family circle to cast a spell on Kylian Mbappé, which Pogba denies. 

It is now understood that an investigation regarding extortion attempts has been open from the start of August.

During the hearings of the case, Pogba revealed that he was threatened by two hooded men with assault rifles along with his childhood friends. They have asked him for £13 million.

The Juventus player has recognized his older brother Mathias Pogba as one of the suspects.

He was reportedly dragged to his apartment in Paris where the alleged blackmailers told him that they are not being taken care of financially and asked for a sum of £13 million.

SInce then, Pogba has seen the group several times, notably in Manchester in April and at Juventus' training ground in July.

The French star was able to identify his brother Mathias in the group. Pogba doesn't share a cordial relationship with his elder brother.

However, Pogba has denied claims of not taking care of his friends.

He has claimed that he stopped providing his friends financial benefits after one tried to steal £200,000 from him in his apartment in Manchester.

Both Pogba and PSG's Mbappe played pivotal roles for Didier Deschamps' men as the Led Blues were crowned World Champions at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Pogba suffered a meniscus injury shortly after his return to Juventus and his participation in the tournament is uncertain.

PSG's Mbappe, meanwhile, will look to play a pivotal role once again as France attempt to retain their throne in Qatar.
