The older brother of Paul Pogba has returned to social media to launch a series of stunning accusations at the Juventus midfielder.

Mathias Pogba was arrested last week, along with four others, as part of an investigation into alleged extortion of his younger brother, who left Manchester United for Juve this summer.

He has now posted a lengthy video on social media this morning while in custody:

"If you have been reading it means that my other bot worked. Be honest with each other and banish hypocrisy so as not to experience the same tragedy. Now, here are some of the long-awaited revelations, which I hope will shed new light and lead you to understand why there is so much determination to shut me up and discredit me because what I have to say is not limited to (Kylian) Mbappé.

"But do not do this at the expense of several innocent families who risk being destroyed by a spoiled little prince, selfish, hypocritical and full of himself. Because doing so, sooner or later, will obscure and eclipse that radiance. Protect the image of France, the French team, the French world champions and to want the world championship is completely normal, because the influence for France will be immense.

"He is someone willing to use the stories of real victims to portray himself as a victim. A person ready to trample everything and everyone, his family, his pleasure, his image and his success. Those who really want to understand, just try to put themselves in my shoes considering that everything I say is true. Take the time to listen all I have to say, so you might understand what a deeply unhealthy being you are dealing with.

"It got to the point that Kylian was about to make his next PSG contract conditional on Paul going to play there. And meanwhile, behind him, Paul was doing witchcraft to sabotage these games. The same sorcerer said that he had to stop the witchcraft he was doing with Kylian at the risk of destroying his career, knowing that he had been paid for the work."

Mathias also stated in a series of videos posted today:

"Many will be shocked and will have a hard time believing it, but it's the truth. That's why our family and loved ones are in danger today. My brother [...] has always had criminals and delinquents around him and continues to do so today. [...] The problem is that he used those relationships and their names to protect themselves on the street and do business with them to do things and shed blood for him. I was not aware of that until he betrayed his henchmen and fled without telling anyone, leaving me and our mother to our fate, leaving his family and those close to him to become the target of these bandits."

But Mathias Pogba does not stop there: "Some of our relatives had already been attacked and shot because of him. The only reason we did not turn to the authorities was for fear of reprisals, since we had no way of protecting ourselves [. ..] I had to blame Paul for his behavior before deigning to keep our mother out of harm's way by taking care of her and abandoning the others.

"Of course, he makes her live alone without any protection, while he is quiet in his fortress behind his bodyguards. Also, it wasn't free. My mother had to side with him and plead on his behalf. Which she unfortunately accepted."
