French soccer international Franck Ribery was placed under judicial investigation on Tuesday for soliciting sex with an under-age prostitute, the Paris public prosecutor's office said.

Police investigating a prostitution network earlier questioned the Bayern Munich winger at the Paris vice squad headquarters for several hours.

The offence carries a maximum penalty of three years in prison and a 45,000 euro fine ($58,390), although a conviction hinges on proving that the accused knew the minor's age.

Ribery's lawyer said he did not know the girl at the centre of the probe was under 18 at the time.
