Karim Benzema has been arrested after being accused of blackmail related to a sex tape featuring fellow player Mathieu Valbuena.
The Real Madrid and France forward arrived at the police station in Versailles, near Paris, early on Wednesday and was placed in detention, the local prosecutor confirmed to AFP, without giving further information.
Benzema, 27, was heavily linked with a move to Arsenal in the summer but opted to stay at Real Madrid.
Part of the investigations around the case also saw former Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse taken into custody and later released in October.
A statement released by a prosecutor last month read: "Djibril Cisse was taken into custody (…) in connection with a judicial investigation opened in the district court of Versailles on July 31 2015.”
