JAKARTA - An unpleasant incident was experienced by Real Madrid player, Karim Benzema, who was linked to a terrorist network. As a form of resistance, Benzema took this matter to court.

Quoted from Sportbible, Tuesday, May 10, Benzema made a report to the Lyon court against the French right-wing activist, Damien Rieu. The Reconquesta politician accused Benzema of being a terrorist.

Benzema's lawsuit is the aftermath of the accusations made by Rieu against the Real Madrid bomber in October 2020 via social media Twitter.

At that time, Rieu uploaded a photo of Benzema with priest Noureddine Mamoune, someone who had been investigated for the murder of school teacher Samuel Paty.

"Interesting to know that Benzema visited imam Nourdine Mamoune, who has just been investigated. I can't wait to see the court interested in examining the funding of mosques in Bron (Benzema's hometown)," Rieu wrote via Twitter as quoted by Sportbible.

Actually, from the case that happened, Mamoune was never charged with any involvement in Paty's murder. However, Rieu's accusations against Benzema, who is a Muslim, do not stop there.

On November 22, 2020, Rieu again uploaded a photo of Benzema with his finger pointing up. Along with the photo, Rieu also juxtaposed it with a photo of several people accused of being terrorists for also pointing their index fingers up like Benzema's pose.

"Benzema seems to want to send us a message," Rieu wrote in the photo.

That moment made Benzema react by legally processing what Rieu did. Benzema is dragging the case on defamation charges where the trial will take place at the end of May.

Meanwhile, the same source revealed that Rieu was not at all afraid of the legal steps taken by Benzema. The politician feels that he can win all his cases at the court.

“Benzema wanted to silence me. Tell him that I have won all my cases in court," Rieu said.
