Real Madrid striker had been arrested for conspiracy to blackmail French international team mate Mathieu Valbuena, but things have turned so much worse.
On Thursday morning, French authorities confirmed that Benzema had been charged with complicity in an attempt to blackmail and conspiring to commit a criminal act. The charges could land Benzema with a sentence of up to five years in prison.
Benzema is now reported to be involved in a completely different case concerning the trafficking of cocaine, in one of the largest drug trafficking scandals France has ever seen.
Said scandal is nicknamed 'Air Cocaine' in the French press, and Le Point have revealed that the number one suspect - an individual who is accused of having paid for and sponsored flights from France to the Dominican Republic and Ecuador - was initially found because of his links with the Real Madrid striker.
