Mathias Pogba, who wishes above all to calm the situation with his brother, will from now on only speak with the investigating magistrates, should it be necessary.”
The charge to get to the bottom of this conundrum isbeing handled by the French central crime and anti-gang units jointly. In addition to their efforts, twoinvestigating magistrates have been appointed to lead the investigation.
