French football star Karim Benzema has been arrested over a sex tape blackmail plot against fellow France international Mathieu Valbuena.
The 27-year-old Real Madrid striker, who was linked with a move to Arsenal over the summer, was being held by judicial police in Versailles, west of Paris.
The Versailles prosecutor has placed Benzema under formal criminal investigation, with a source close to the case saying: 'We can confirm that he is being questioned over his role in this affair.'
