Karim Benzema, who is in great form, is back in the news after scoring on an extra-time penalty at the Santiago Bernabeu. Algerian-born Benzema’s big match winning temperament is remarkable; Making the best goal or giving the pass when needed can only be compared to Lionel Messi. However, this time the star forward of Real Madrid has come to the news on an unwanted issue in their own country. On October 23, 2020, French politician Damien Rio tweeted that Benzema had met an imam named Nurdin Mamun, who had been questioned on suspicion of involvement in the murder of schoolteacher Samuel Patti.
On November 22 of the same year, the politician posted a picture of Benzema with armed extremists. In this tweet, Damien Rio called Benzema a direct terrorist. Posting pictures of Benzema with the terrorists, he wrote that Benzema may be trying to convey a message.
However, the pictures were fabricated and false. That’s what his lawyer claims. A court has summoned politician Rio on May 23 over Benzema’s case. Karim Benzema’s lawyer, Selvin Cormier, said Damien Rio had twice compared Benzema to terrorists in his tweets. We can’t wait for another bad comment like this.
