Liverpool’s former French player Djibril Cisse was arrested by police on Tuesday along with three other people over alleged sex tape blackmail of France international player Mathieu Valbuena, according to Le Figaro.
The four suspects including Cisse are now being questioned by the investigative officers over an attempted extortion of money from Valbuena, currently playing for the French side Olympic Lyon. Though reports also claimed, former France international striker Cisse will be later released without any charge.
Police believe other three men held in custody are the mastermind behind this blackmail plot against Val Buena. Their plan was to make a phone call to the French player and threaten him by claiming they have a sex tape made between Valbuena and his partner, if the player doesn’t pay, they will make it public.
Cisse who had spells with Liverpool, Sunderland and QPR; now plays for JS Saint Pierroise in the Reunion Premiere league of French territory. He was recently in the news after getting into a Twitter war with ex-wife.
