He tweeted: “A relative of Benzema touches De Souza’s arm, it is an abduction"

According to , a dispute between the pair developed over £44,000 which was seized by customs at Marrakech airport in Morocco.
The unconfirmed report adds that D'Souza is claiming an attempted abduction took place outside a shisha bar on October 7.
Benzema's ex-agent, 33, says a black van pulled up beside him and a childhood friend of Benzema's ordered him to get in.
He claims to have been punched when he refused to get in the vehicle before people from the bar get involved.
