Footballers Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema will face justice as "the prostitution of minors" in a case of pandering. Les Bleus will not escape the case Zahia . Within a few months, two stars of the team of France, Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema will appear before the Criminal Court of Paris. The judge André Dando finally decided to refer the two attackers face justice in trials that affect procuring eight defendants linked more or less closely to the Zaman Café. The scandal broke in 2010, when at the turn of an investigation into the hotel considered one of the places of prostitution in Paris, emerging names football personalities suspected of being clients of a young minor Zahia Dehar. Thus Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema will publicly respond "use of underage prostitution", incurring up to three years in prison each. Joining them in the dock, will be held including the manager of Café Zaman and his brother server, prosecuted them for pimping. According to the confession of the head of the facility to the police, half of the women in this bar des Champs-Élysées were actually present to sell their services. The Cafe Zaman has also been closed due to traffic cocaine.

Location very atypical

In the absence of defendants remanded in custody, the trial should not take place until next year. It should last several days, "about a week," said the magistrate. He promises in any case a large mixing unpacking football, prostitution and money ... A cocktail whose medium of football would have preferred to pass. "Football is already experiencing a sort of disaffection with the opinion, the climate is not good," said Sylvain Cormier, Board Karim Benzema. According to counsel, the reputation of his client would not be anything to do with the fate that he reserved the judge: last November, the prosecution did not actually fit to pursue both football players. "The situation is very unusual, says Sylvain Cormier, the accuser forego prosecution, but the judge still decides to return the two stars to justice!" Wednesday, Bayern sporting director, Matthias Sammer, assured that Franck Ribery, who plays in the German club since 2007, enjoyed his full support."We have a responsibility vis-à-vis the player and we tell him that we are with him and he has our best support," he said. Until now, the player has a strong popularity in Germany which protected sarcasm of the tabloids. Nike, which provides shoes to Franck Ribéry for more than eight years, has not questioned its partnership, preferring to concentrate on the football athletic performance and build on the presumption of innocence. But such a trial remains unpublished in France.

Travel to Munich

Both players have also not hold the same place. Karim Benzema continues to deny any sexual relationship with Zahia Dehar priced. The testimony of a friend of footballer ensuring spending the evening with him, as recording a telephone conversation in which Zahia responds to an acquaintance that she "did nothing" with Benzema n ' has not satisfied the magistrate. The judge based on the initial statements of the young call girl to the police, ensuring to have been invited to a party for the Oscars of football, then driving to the hotel ... where it would hit the player half of 1000 euros requested. But "it's word against word," says Sylviane Cormier, who hopes to obtain the release of his client. The case of Franck Ribery is more complex, at least from the perspective of the image. The famous international does not deny having received benefits from the young prostitute. In 2009 was organized a trip to Munich, in which Kamel, a close Ribery went with two young women - Zahia in-suite reserved by Ribery. The challenge for the attacker is to convince him that he had no knowledge of the age of Lolita - 16 years old at the time. According to his lawyer, it will be at the helm. Zahia, whose name is legally in the trial as a victim, has already indicated that it would not.
