Affaire Pogba: le frère Mathias Pogba et trois autres personnes en garde à vue

Mathias Pogba, le frère aîné du footballeur Paul Pogba, et trois autres personnes ont été placés en garde à vue dans l’enquête sur des extorsions dénoncées par le joueur de la Juventus Turin, a-t-on appris mercredi de sources judiciaire et proche du dossier.
Mathias Pogba s’est présenté de lui-même “en début d’après-midi (mercredi) au service d’enquête et a été placé en garde à vue”, a précisé la source proche.
Sur les quatre suspects entendus, l’un a été placé en garde à vue mardi et les trois autres mercredi, a indiqué la source judiciaire, confirmant une information du Monde.
Ces gardes à vue ont été ordonnées dans le cadre de l’information judiciaire ouverte le 2 septembre à Paris pour notamment extorsion avec arme, enlèvement ou séquestration en bande organisée et participation à une association de malfaiteurs.
L’affaire a démarré avec une plainte déposée le 16 juillet auprès du parquet de Turin par Paul Pogba, dans laquelle il a dénoncé des tentatives d’extorsion entre mars et juillet 2022 se chiffrant à plusieurs millions d’euros.
Mais les faits n’ont été révélés au grand jour qu’avec la publication le 27 août d’une vidéo énigmatique de Mathias Pogba, lui-même footballeur professionnel, qui promettait des “révélations” sur son frère.
La star de l’équipe de France a raconté lors de sa première audition devant les enquêteurs avoir été piégé par des amis d’enfance et deux hommes encagoulés, armés de fusils d’assaut, lui reprochant de ne pas les avoir aidés financièrement, selon des informations de France Info, confirmées à l’AFP de source proche du dossier.
Une somme de 13 millions d’euros lui aurait été réclamée et il assure avoir versé 100.000 euros.
Paul Pogba avait alors affirmé avoir reconnu son frère aîné Mathias parmi les suspects.
Lors d’une autre audition, il a estimé auprès des enquêteurs que Mathias était “sous la pression” des personnes voulant lui soutirer de l’argent.
La semaine dernière, Mathias Pogba, par la voix de son avocat, s’est dit “totalement étranger à toute manœuvre d’extorsion à l’égard de son frère, Paul Pogba”.
“Il est clair que les difficultés éprouvées par la famille Pogba sont la résultante de menaces extérieures dont la justice, désormais saisie, prendra la mesure”, avait écrit dans un communiqué Me Richard Arbib.
“Mathias Pogba, qui aspire plus que tout à apaiser la situation avec son frère, réservera dorénavant sa parole aux juges d’instruction en charge de ce dossier, le cas échéant”, avait précisé Me Arbib.

Dart recently announced new and enhanced employee leave benefits, which support families and provide flexibility in how paid time off is used.
Pre-pandemic internal research highlighted benefits that employees hoped to see added to Dart’s already extensive benefits package, while post-pandemic realities made family, flexibility, and time off more important than ever.
Dart’s benefits team proposed new and enhanced benefits which, along with the existing benefits package including life insurance and the more recently added long-term disability for all employees, represents a deliberate and meaningful focus on people.
“We understand the growing importance of paid family leave and of supporting a multigenerational workforce,” commented Anya Edun, VP People and Culture. The new offering enhances existing paid-time benefits and adds new time off options which can be taken independently or added to other paid leave benefits to extend them.
NEW: Five personal days, providing maximum flexibility, which can be taken for any reason. Personal days may be added to vacation, or other paid leave options, providing greater flexibility in planning longer periods of time off if desired. ENHANCED: Paternity leave has been a part of Dart’s benefit package for some time. Understanding the importance of this family time, Dart is adding five paid days to the current benefit, making it 10 days paid, with the option of adding five paid personal days and any unused vacation and unpaid leave. ENHANCED: Dart continues to provide strong maternity leave benefits with new mothers receiving three months’ leave with full pay and may choose to add a combination of other paid leave options – adding up to potentially another month and a half at full pay. In addition to paid leave, mothers may add unpaid days for up to six months at home with their newborn baby, with all relevant employee benefits fully paid by the company (i.e., 100% health insurance premiums for the mother, life Insurance, long term disability etc.) (*Paternity and maternity leave benefits also apply to adoption leave. )NEW: Dart continues to lead the local market in its commitment and investment in the health and well-being of its employees and now offers one paid day off a year for employees to complete preventative medical and health screenings. This day adds to the existing wellness programme, 100% health insurance premiums paid for employees and a built-in preventative claim benefit.
“We strive to offer our people a Total Rewards package that is comprehensive, flexible and competitive, which includes quantifiable benefits and an array of work-life programmes and policies, resulting in engaged, productive and motivated employees,” commented Leif Edwards-Best, benefits manager at Dart.
Our people remain our most important investment and we are pleased to continue to provide a wide range of market-leading benefits in support of our employees’ holistic well-being.

“ I am a past student of this school, as are my two sons, and I am so happy that we are able to assist to make the classrooms a little more comfortable and bearable in this extreme heat. In fact, our General Manager, Bobby Reis, raised this issue since last week, but it took time to source the fans. We must thank Edward Mansoor at Townhouse for his recommendations on the type of fan and a generous discount.
Meanwhile the Headmistress of the school, Mrs. Arian Fleming-Thomas expressed her thanks to the marina and said it was a timely gift which will offer relief to the students and staff.

Met Office: Saint Lucia Not Experiencing Record High Temperatures – St. Lucia Times News

The content originally appeared on: St. Lucia Times News

Despite complaints about the heat and a warning from the Chief Medical Officer to Saint Lucians to protect themselves from heat-related illnesses, the Saint Lucia Meteorological Services says the Island has not been experiencing record temperatures.
Meteorological Services Director Andre Joyeux observed that there is a heatwave in the United States and most people would associate it with the local situation.
But Joyeux explained that Saint Lucia’s temperature readings do not reflect excessive heat.
“The most we have gotten so far is 32 degrees Celsius,” he disclosed.

However, the Meteorological Services Director recalled that Saint Lucia recorded 34 degrees in 1973.
“So this time around it’s not as hot as before,” Joyeux told St Lucia Times.
“What is happening right now is the early morning – it gets hotter very early. From seven, eight, you already have 31 degrees Celsius,” he noted.
“The temperature we record is the air temperature,” he noted, adding that direct sunlight is not recorded.
Joyeux told St Lucia Times that due to infrastructural developments concrete structures and roads capture and radiate heat, creating a hotter environment.
As a result, he advised people to stay hydrated and stay out of the sun as much as possible.
However, he indicated that the current situation does not require a severe heat warning.
“If we get to thirty-three degrees that is something we hardly see and then we could put out a severe heat warning,” Joyeux told St Lucia Times.
According to the Meteorological Services Director, the hurricane season coincides with a period of hotter temperatures.
“One of the issues was that we had a number of systems in the area around last week coming into this week,” he observed.
In addition, Joyeux said currently a system is North East of Saint Lucia and will pull moisture, resulting in very humid conditions and less cloud cover.

Gasolineras denuncian DACO les cobra por servicios que consumen inspectores de las estaciones
Black Immigrant Daily News
The content originally appeared on: Radio Isla TV
El presidente de la Asociación de Detallistas de Gasolina, Esdras Vélez, denunció que el Departamento de Asuntos del Consumidor (DACO) les está cobrando a las gasolineras un cargo extra por servicios de peaje, millaje y dieta que consumen inspectores de la agencia que visitan las estaciones para supervisar el despacho de combustible.
“No nos quitan el puño de la cara. Nos están cobrando millaje, peaje, dieta”, expresó.
Vélez informó que en una visita hay un costo de $15, a los cuales se les añade el gasto que haga cada inspector que esté en la estación junto a lo que gaste su vehículo, Tras eso, facturan la cantidad que la estación debe pagar, mediante cheque, al Departamento de Hacienda por correo.
“Yo no sé si es legal eso. Estamos hablando que un empleado público tiene su sueldo. El trabajo que realizan estos inspectores… la realidad es que sí, que trabajan. Pero el cobro de peajes, o sea, esto es algo absurdo. Gasolina también hay que pagarle al DACO. Tras de que nos tienen los márgenes congelados desde febrero… ¿Él habrá tomado en consideración esos gastos también en su análisis?”, cuestionó el líder.
Por otra parte, tras el anuncio de que una depresión tropical, con posibilidad de convertirse en tormenta tropical entre hoy y mañana, el líder indicó que el país no está listo para enfrentar un evento atmosférico, aunque reiteró que las gasolineras tienen sus abastos.
“La realidad es que me gustaría decirte que sí, que estamos preparados, pero no es así […] Lo importante es no perder la calma y recordar que siempre hay abasto suficiente en las estaciones. Algo que nos ha ayudado a tener nuestro abasto suficiente es que ha bajado el costo, y la gran mayoría de las estaciones tienen sus inventarios saludables”, advirtió Vélez.
