2024 - Paul Pogba: the mother of the Blues player, Yéo Moriba, collateral victim of the marabout affair

During his second hearing in the extortion investigation denounced by Paul Pogba, the footballer told investigators that his mother Yéo Moriba was under pressure.

FranceInfo reveals that the Juventus FC player’s entourage has also been pressured – including his mother, Yeo Moribaas the site learned on Monday by consulting the player’s second audition.

We thus learn that in July, several strangers showed up in front of the apartment of Yeo Moriba, who ends up opening the door for them.

They claim the sum of 13 million euros, under threat of revealing the recording which proves that Paul Pogba called on a marabout to cast a spell on his teammate in the French team, Kylian Mbappé. In this regard, the Juve player claims to have indeed appealed to a marabout, but only for a humanitarian association helping children in Africa.
