Mathias Pogba denied a possible role in the extortion of which his brother Paul would have been the victim in recent months, during his hearing on September 17 before the judges, to which Le Monde had access. Currently in detention, the accused gave a different version from that of his mother, Yeo Moriba, in particular concerning a visit to her home.
The Pogba case continues. Indicted on September 17, Mathias Pogba assured that he had “nothing to do with the extortion” of which his brother Paul claims to be a victim. This is what he explained to the two investigating judges who were directing his first appearance interrogation, according to information revealed by Le Monde. During his hearing, Mathias indicated that he was not present, on the night of March 19 to 20, in the apartment in Seine-et-Marne where the affair began. He would even have an alibi because he was then in a room of a hotel in La Défense and not in Seine-et-Marne, place of the captivity of Paul Pogba, from whom two hooded and armed men claimed several million. euros.
The version of Yeo Mariba close to that delivered by Paul
Accused of having traveled to Italy in order to participate in this pressure action against Paul, Mathias denied once again, explaining that he had traveled (on July 14) with the four people indicted with a view to “d “to have the version” of Paul Pogba “face-to-face” concerning this case of kidnapping and threat dating from March. In addition, several weeks after this stay in Italy, Mathias would have confided to the investigators that he himself “got robbed” by hooded men, on July 30, in Roissy-en-Brie. The attackers would have asked him to “tell (his) brother to find a solution”. It was the next day that he then went to the home of his mother, Yeo Moriba, in Val-de-Marne, in the company of the four defendants.
Thus, Mathias would have asked his mother to “get in touch” with Paul in order to help them. A different version from that delivered by Yeo Moriba who explained to the Central Office for the Fight against Organized Crime (OCLCO) on August 9 that Roushdane K. (suspected of being on the job by investigators) had been ” quite threatening” against him wanting to scare him by saying that “what had to happen will happen”. This version seems to approach that of Paul who, during his second hearing, had affirmed that his mother had been threatened by several individuals.
