Bayern Munich and Real Madrid stars to go on trial for paying for sex in 2008 and 2009 with prostitute , then a minor . French footballers Franck Ribery and Karim Benzema , accused of paying for sex with an underage call girl, will go on trial in Paris after being investigated for two years . Bayern Munich winger Ribery and Real Madrid striker Benzema are to stand trial on Tuesday on allegations of paying Zahia Dehar, then a minor , for sex in 2008 and 2009 . Ribery ' s lawyer , Carlo - Alberto Brusa , said his client was innocent and should not be expected to show up in court. " In French law , it ' s not forbidden to make love to a woman and even to pay her for it , what is forbidden is to do it with a minor , " he told Reuters. " When a woman travels around Europe by plane, can you imagine thinking for one second that she ' s a minor ?" Ribery has acknowledged the encounter but said he did not know she was underage , nor that she was a prostitute . He said he only gave her 200 euros for a taxi ride to the airport . The trial is expected to run until June 26 . The scandal , which exposed footballers ' tastes for flings and partying , came ahead of the 2010 World Cup , further damaging the image of a French squad already tarnished by internal bickering, public tantrums and defeats . Possible sentences Algerian - born Dehar, now 21, has since become designer Karl Lagerfeld' s muse and protegee , launching her own lingerie line. The footballers could be sentenced to up to three years in jail and fines of $ 60 , 000 if found guilty of soliciting the services of an underage prostitute . According to court documents , Dehar had been a prostitute since the age of 15 or 16 , but would tell clients she was 18 . She said she was flown in from Paris to Munich in 2009 for Ribery ' s 26 th birthday party in a luxury hotel , and that he paid her 700 euros for sex . http://m.aljazeera.com/story/201361853037503652 |
