Madrid, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Oct, 2018 ) :Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has brushed off reports he was involved in the attempted kidnapping of an acquaintance who owes him 50,000 Euros.

"This must stop," Benzema said on his Twitter page Friday following a report by the Mediapart website implicating the exiled France international in the attempted kidnap.

Mediapart's report, published late on Thursday, claimed Benzema was personally involved in the alleged attempt because he was owed the money by a supposed victim identified only as Leo D.

The report cites the testimony of Leo D., a former acquaintance of Benzema's who filed a complaint with police on October 8 following the alleged kidnap.
