Real Madrid's Karim Benzema is to face trial over his alleged involvement in the attempted blackmail of Mathieu Valbuena relating to a sex tape apparently featuring the Olympiakos star.
The former Lyon forward is accused of trying to extort money from his fellow France international ahead of a friendly against Armenia five years ago.
And, according to AFP, the French forward has now been informed by the Versailles prosecutor’s office that he will be taken to court at an as yet unspecified date.
