French football stars charged in under-age sex scandal
France international footballers Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema were charged with having had sex with an under-age prostitute on Tuesday, as magistrates cracked down on an alleged celebrity vice ring.
The indictments are the first stage of a formal judicial investigation that could lead to a trial and, if convicted, both players face up to three years in jail and fines of €45,000 ($85,000).
Ribery, who plays for German giants Bayern Munich, arrived at the offices of the investigating magistrates at the Palace of Justice in Paris in handcuffs, said several witnesses, but he was freed without preconditions after the hearing.
“The only thing that’s new since the last time he was questioned is that the World Cup is over and he played badly,” she told reporters, confirming that her client’s 22-year-old brother-in-law had also been charged
