Mathias Pogba has hit back at his 'money-grabbing' brother Paul, accusing him of 'witchcraft' and putting the family in danger - before claiming reports about an £11million extortion are false.

Franceinfo news outlet, which has seen police files on the case, said on Tuesday that Paul was initially told to hand over €13million (£11m) by the armed men, who were wearing hoods, and branding MI6 assault rifles. 

This was 'protection money' covering €1m (£860,000) a year, from the age of 16 when he first became a professional footballer, according to the enquiry source.

But in a ferocious response to the latest updates on the case, brother Mathias has called out Pogba's 'witchcraft' and claims 'because of fame and money' his brother 'has long since lost his notion of reality'.
