French soccer player Karim Benzema filed a complaint against Gérald Darmanin, French Interior Minister, who claimed that Benzema had connections with the Muslim Brotherhood group.
'RTL' radio reported on Tuesday that the lawyers of Benzema, winner of the 2022 Ballon d'Or, filed the lawsuit following statements by Darmanin, who said that Benzema's relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood was “evident.”
Benzema's lawyer told 'RTL': “A person's name is dragged out only for communicative reasons. With family consequences for those close to them that are considerable“.

The former Real Madrid player's lawyer stated that the minister's words “sow division” in France, since “when listening to them, some people exclude Karim Benzema and others feel excluded when listening to them.”
