Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema has appealed against a one-year suspended sentence for complicity in a bid to blackmail former France team-mate Mathieu Valbuena with a sex tape. The appeal is set to be heard in June-July.
Benzema has been a key player for Real Madrid since joining the club in 2009. He has won four Champions League titles and two La Liga titles with the club. However, his career has been marred by off-field controversies, including the sex tape scandal.
The case has been ongoing since 2015 and has caused much controversy in France. Benzema has denied any wrongdoing and has maintained his innocence throughout the proceedings. The appeal will be closely watched by football fans around the world.
