France winger Franck Ribery's lawyer says the footballer provided
witness testimony last week for investigators probing a suspected
prostitution ring believed to have operated out of a Paris
nightclub.
Sophie Bottai, Ribery's lawyer, says no charges were filed
against him and that he was not held in police custody.
A lawyer for France teammate Sidney Govou, meanwhile,
declined to say whether his client spoke to investigators last
week. Thierry Braillard says Govou "never set foot in" the
Champs-Elysees nightclub Cafe Zaman, where the suspected
prostitution ring was believed to have operated.
In April, 10 people were taken into custody in the
investigation, but none were members of France's national team.
