"There is a notorious connection...", Benzema counterattacks, takes
The French minister and Benzema

Football star Karim Benzema has filed a defamation lawsuit against France's interior minister, after the latter accused the attacker of having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood organization.

In October, Darmanin said that Benzema "has a notorious connection" with the Sunni Muslim Islamic group, but the footballer's lawyer in the lawsuit filed against the minister claims that his statement "undermines" the honor and reputation of the Al Ittihad star.

In his 92-page lawsuit, widely reported in French media on Tuesday, Benzema says he has "never had the slightest connection with the Muslim Brotherhood, nor with anyone who claims to be a member of it."

"I am aware of the extent to which, because of my fame, I am being used in political games, which are even more scandalous given that the dramatic events since October 7 deserve something completely different from this kind of statement." , says the former star of Real Madrid.

Even his lawyer Hugues Vigier told the French media RTL that the footballer is a victim of "political exploitation" and accused the Minister of the Interior of "sowing division in France".

Darmanin's comment in October came after the player spoke out on Platform X in support of the people of Gaza, describing them in a post as "victims of unjust bombings that spare neither women nor children".

Noting Benzema's similar lack of empathy for the 1,300 or so Israeli victims that Hamas militants killed on October 7, Darmanin said the former French striker was "known for his ties to the Muslim Brotherhood".

"We are fighting the group that is the Muslim Brotherhood, because it creates an atmosphere of jihadism," the politician told the conservative CNews TV channel.

Darmanin has previously targeted Benzema for other reasons, including his refusal to sing the French national anthem.

As for the Muslim Brotherhood, the group was founded about 80 years ago in Egypt and has supported many modern Islamic organizations, including Hamas.

Mainly an ideological movement with no formal structure, and while it is banned in many countries, it is not restricted in most of the European Union.
