Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema goes on trial in France on Wednesday charged with complicity in the attempted blackmail of former international teammate Mathieu Valbuena over a sex tape.

Prosecutors say Valbuena received a first call threatening to expose the sex tape in early June, 2015 while at the French squad's training centre in Clairefontaine, west of Paris.

The anonymous caller said he wanted to"come to an arrangement" with Valbuena and told him to name an intermediary. Prosecutors allege Benzema was recruited by the alleged blackmailers to convince his team mate to pay up. Benzema is accused of complicity to attempted blackmail. His four co-accused face charges of attempted blackmail.Benzema may not attend the first day of the trial after he travelled to Ukraine where he played in his club's Champions League group stage match against Shakhtar Donetsk on Tuesday.
