Karim Benzema is dealing with one turbulent event after another.
Alvaro Morata Will Be Real Madrid's Striker In 2016
The Real Madrid striker was charged with complicity in attempted blackmail by French prosecutors and participating in a criminal group, per Football News France. He was taken into police custody in the precinct of Versailles concerning the blackmail-sextape affair surrounding French teammate Mathieu Valbuena.
If found guilty, Benzema could face five years in jail and a fine of €75,000.

As if that wasn’t enough, reports from French outlet Le Point state Benzema could be involved in a scandal concerning the trafficking of cocaine. It is rumored to be the one of the biggest drug trafficking scandals France has ever seen, nicknamed “Air Cocaine.”
Karim Benzema fancies himself as a bit of a Pablo Escobar doesn't he? Blackmail/extortion and shifting large quantities of cocaine.

Internationally, Thursday’s developments spell the short-term end to his national team career. He -- along with Valbuena -- will not be called up to Didier Deschamps’ France squad for friendlies against Germany and England.
The same cannot be said about his future at Real Madrid.
