The older brother of former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has been sentenced to three years in prison, with two years suspended, after being found guilty of attempting to extort money from the French footballer.
Mathias Pogba, who was also fined €20,000 (£16,500), will avoid jail and will instead serve a year with an electronic bracelet.
Five other men were found guilty of extortion and other crimes and received terms ranging from four to eight years in a Paris court on Thursday.
Paul Pogba, 31, has said he was “tricked by childhood friends” who targeted him in 2022 and demanded €13m (£10.8m). He said he paid them €100,000 (£82,600).
