The trial was previously scheduled for June but was postponed for various reasons. Instead, today, the trial resumed but without the participation ofRiberyand Benzema. Lawyers will represent them in court.

Back to the details of the incident, in 2009, the prostitute Zahia Dehar, then 18 years old, flew to Munich to attend Ribery's "wild" birthday party. She lied to the lustful player that she was of legal age. For her part, Ribery admitted that she gave Zahia money, but it was to pay for travel and hotel expenses, not "to buy sex".

Meanwhile, his teammate in the French national team, Benzema, completely denied the accusations, claiming that he had done nothing “immoral” with the beautiful woman. Benzema is said to have met Zahia at a party in April 2009, and admitted to sleeping with her and giving her some money!

According to French law, prostitution is legal but the “members” must be over 18 years old. Therefore, if convicted, the two French stars will risk having to spend up to 3 years in prison, not to mention a fine of 60,000 USD.
