Paul Pogba's brother, Mathias, has doubled down on his accusations that the Juventus star is actively involved in witchcraft, claiming that the practices require 'the will to do harm.'

Mathias is involved in a heated, public dispute with Paul after the two brothers allegedly had a serious falling out earlier this year.

Pogba released a statement on Sunday suggesting his brother, in conjunction with a criminal gang, had sought to extort €13m from him, with AFP reporting that the French authorities have launched an investigation.

In response, Mathias promised to shine a light on a series of 'revelations' around his brother, in which he claimed that Pogba had been practicing witchcraft to avoid injury and had also placed a curse on international team-mate Kylian Mbappe.

Pogba vehemently denies all accusations of witchcraft.

In his latest TikTok video, Mathias said: "All of Paul's statements, from the hearing at the start of August to the response from his lawyers and the responses, from his supporters, are only intended to drag my name through the mud.

"So I'm asking myself: why rush to affirm that what I had to say concerned just witchcraft?

"Because it would be difficult to talk about the so-called blackmail in this case? So wouldn't it be better to hammer home that the big brother is just a jealous, money-grabbing person, ready to do anything to discredit before he speaks? Isn't that what all false accounts in my name are all about? No, we don't accept conspiracies here!"

"The only path to survival that I have is to unveil his lies and his deception. That's why I confirmed his witchcraft because what matters here is not whether it works or whether you believe me or not, it is that it is malicious because these practices expect that you do bad things for their rituals with the will to harm."

The witchcraft story emerged on Sunday night, after Mathias pushed a series of Tweets directly accusing his brother, saying: "Paul, you really wanted to shut me up completely to lie and send me to prison, I suspected now it's true, my version of the facts happens and unlike you, I have enough to prove my words and your lies. I'll tell you again: brother, manipulating people is not good!

"It's not about money: You implicated me in spite of myself, I almost died because of you, you left me in the hole while fleeing and you want to play the innocent, when everything is said people will see that there is no more coward, more traitor and more hypocrite than you on this Earth.

"Kylian, now do you understand? I have nothing negative against you, my words are for your good, everything is true and proven. Sorry for my brother, a so-called muslim deep in witchcraft, it's never good to have a hypocrite and a traitor near you!"

Pogba has confirmed that the group of men sought to extort €13m from him were ultimately paid just €85k, after his bank placed a halt on the payment.
