Sex-tape mastermind Mustapha Zouaoui released from detention

Versailles (France): One of the suspected blackmailers in the Mathieu Valbuena sex-tape scandal has been released from prison, his lawyer said yesterday.

Mustapha Zouaoui was released on Thursday according to his lawyer Serge Money as French law prevents suspects being held in pre-trial detention for longer than four months.

He was re-arrested in July after failing to respect the terms of his original release in January, when a first four-month detention came to an end.
