According to reports in France, three people have been arrested with regards to the extortion plot against Paul Pogba, including the Juventus midfielder’s brother Mathias.
Le Monde and RMC Sport both maintain that Mathias Pogba was summoned to Nanterre by police, who wanted to interview him over the allegations.
It is claimed that between Tuesday and Wednesday, three people were placed in police custody over the affair.
Pogba went to police in both France and Italy after he received threats and attempts at extortion.
Although initially Mathias made videos on social media threatening to reveal details about his brother, Paul later insisted that his sibling had been acting under duress.
It is possible that Mathias is also a victim of the same criminal gang that Pogba claims has been pushing him for money.
The scandal erupted when Pogba was already out of action following a knee injury and has now gone under the knife to resolve the meniscus tear.
