Karim Benzema’s legal saga is intensifying. After filing a complaint against Gérald Darmanin, the Minister of the Interior, for defamation, the footballer is seriously considering adding a new chapter to his legal fight, this time against Éric Zemmour.
The player’s lawyer, lawyer Hugues Vigier, shared this news on BFMTV.
This lawyer suggests that legal action could be imminent.
“If it happens, it will happen very soon,” he said.
The friction between Karim Benzema and the former candidate for the presidency of the Republic began with the polemicist’s explosive statements on October 19, 2023 on France 2.
Éric Zemmour had described the ex-Blues striker as an “Islamist who wants to apply sharia”, adding that sharia provides for jihad, implying links with tragic acts of violence. Incendiary manner, Zemmour concluded by asserting that Benzema “does not like France, he has never loved it”.
Faced with these accusations, Me Vigier intervened to defend Benzema, arguing: “He has no problem with France. Hear him talk about France. France gave him everything, taught him everything. “Thus, the legal battle between the footballer and the polemicist promises to be the next soap opera to follow closely.”
