The prosecution at Versailles asked the jury for a sentence of 10 months in prison for France's forward for participating in a blackmail attempt with a sex tape on his former teammate Mathie Valbuena

Benzema was the only one out of the five accused that didn't attend the proceeding, as he played a Champions League game on Tuesday.
