Former Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse has been arrested regarding a plot to blackmail his former team-mate and France international Mathieu Valbuena over a sex tape.
'We can confirm that he is being questioned over his role in this affair,' a source working for investigators in Versailles, west of Paris, said.
Cisse is accused of conspiracy to blackmail, a charge with a maximum five-year prison sentence.
The striker, who cost Liverpool £14.5million 11 years ago, is said to have been part of a plot to extort money from Valbuena. The arrests took place in the Bouches-du-Rhone and Oise departments.
Valbuena, the diminutive 31-year-old Lyon midfielder who has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs, was asked for money in return for the tape not being published, it is alleged.
Cisse, 34, joined Saint-Pierroise in the Reunion Premier League, the top division in the French overseas territory Reunion located east of Madagascar, this summer.
