Patrice Evra responds to reports of being handed suspended 12-month sentence with a bizarre video on social media overnight.
L’equipe revealed that he had been sentenced on the 9th of July by the criminal court to 12 months in prison with probation and provisional execution (which means that he is already subject to a certain number of obligations set by the judge), specifies the Nanterre prosecutor’s office.
Their report went on to add that the justice system is accusing him of almost £1million in arrears of alimony that he should have paid, according to it, to his ex-wife Sandra Evra, with whom he had two children and from whom he has been separated for years.
This. however. is facts the ex-Premier League player denies, believing that he has already paid.
“The facts are disputed. Mr. Evra has appealed ,” says Jérôme Boursican, his lawyer.
Evra is said to have been hit with a 12-month sentence, suspended for two years, and ordered to pay his wife €4,000 (£3,358) for moral damages and €2,000 (£1,679) for legal costs, per the Daily Mail.
After the sentencing, Evra’s lawyer, Jerome Bouriscan, insisted that ‘the facts are disputed’ by his client, who is adamant there are no outstanding payments.
‘Mr Patrice Evra filed an appeal, knowing that he provided his wife with an apartment, a house with a swimming pool in the south of France and that he lent her almost two million euros for her daily life,’ Boursican said.
‘A sum that she refuses to return, which is the reason for this trial.’
This news then did the rounds on social media, as you can imagine, but now Patrice Evra’s given his response.
In a video posted via his Instagram, he is seen wearing a prison jumpsuit and handcuffs, playing basketball in what appears to be a prison yard.
He wrote: “Let me shutdown this rubbish news : look how much I enjoyed myself in prison 🤣🤣🤣 France lose at euros then late put something about mister #ilovethisgame #ilovethisgame #freedom”
