French Real Madrid striker

Karim Benzema

has been found guilty of complicity in the attempt to blackmail his former teammate Mathieu Valbuena with a sex video in what is known as the

"sextape"

case

.

The player has been sentenced to one year in prison with suspended sentence in France.

The Court of Versailles considered that the conversation that Benzema had with Valbuena in which he tried to convince him to come into contact with the blackmailers

constitutes a "deliberate" intervention

so that the then Lyon footballer would pay to prevent the video from being broadcast.

Benzema

, whose lawyers announced the filing of an appeal,

was also sentenced to a 75,000 euro

($ 87,000) fine.

Against the other four defendants, the Versailles court imposed penalties ranging from

18 months of conditional prison to 2 and a half years

of mandatory prison sentence.
