Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has been suspended indefinitely from the France team because of the blackmail case he is embroiled in, the president of the national football federation (FFF) said on Thursday.
Benzema was put under formal investigation by a French judge last month in connection with an alleged attempt to blackmail international team
mate Mathieu Valbuena over a sex video.
"As long as the judicial system has not decided that everything that has been published on Benzema is excessive, the federation will not change its mind," he added while urging the judge handling the case to set up a meeting between the two players.
Le Graet was not specific but his ruling probably means Benzema cannot be called up by the national team until he is convicted or cleared of the alleged offence.
Benzema has denied any wrongdoing although he has been banned from contacting anyone linked to the investigation including Olympique Lyonnais forward Valbuena.
The scandal has been in the public domain since details of the investigation, as well as the transcript of Benzema's hearing with a judge, were leaked by the French media.
The football federation became a plaintiff in the case after Valbuena said in an interview with Le Monde that he was disappointed with his team mate.
Prime Minister Manuel Valls said last week that Benzema should not play for France before he is cleared.

Former National Team captain and FC Barcelona star Samuel Eto'o has kept up his great form in Turkey, finding the net once again last weekend.
Cameroon's superstar Eto'o has been making waves at Antalyaspor since his arrival at the start of the season, and Saturday was no different for the 34-year-old.
After criticism of his spells at Chelsea, Everton Sampdoria and the National Team, Eto'o has shown that he is far from finished, having taken the lead in the Turkish top flight's scoring charts this season.
Despite the stiker's team losing to Konyaspor at the weekend, his late strike saw him net his 12th strike of the campaign in 14 matches, and he has also assisted a further three goals.
Eto'o has been making positive headlines in Turkey this season as he has scored some incredible solo efforts, and set up goals for his teammates with some clever play on the edge of the area.
Antalyaspor are currently 10th in the Super Lig, and have been linked with big names such as Victor Valdes and Ronaldinho.
Do you think it is high time Eto'o should be re-integrated into the National Team? Let's know your views.

The Cameroonian international's contract with Marseille expires at the end of the current season and he is unwilling to extend his deal with the club, meaning he could leave on a free next summer.
Chelsea and Liverpool are known to be admirers of N'Koulou, and are both looking to strengthen their defences when the transfer window opens, while Lazio are also keen on his signature.
And according to Foot 365, Fiorentina have also joined the race to sign N'Koulou next summer.
The 25-year-old defender made 24 league appearances last season for Marseille, scoring twice.
With N'Koulou expected to leave the Stade Velodrometo at the end of the season, there is expected to be a bidding war for his signature.

Following a tumultuous day during which more officials from the governing body were arrested, Sepp Blatter's temporary replacement chose an inpportune moment to nod off.
It would surprise a few people if those involved with Fifa have been enduring sleepless nights of late, particularly after the latest round of arrests in Zurich on Thursday.
But it seems the lack of sleep has caught with acting president Issa Hayatou more than most after he was spotted catching forty winks during a press conference.
Having taken over temporary leadership of the organisation in the aftermath of Sepp Blatter's suspension, the former CAF president has certainly had plenty to deal with during his short tenure.

After signing an accord with some mayors towards the posing of the green turf on certain stadiums across the country, the Cameroon football federation moved another step further yesterday by signing a convention with the National School of Magistracy and Administration, ENAM. The accord is aimed at training footballers and officials on ethical, republican and Olympic values. Speaking during the signing ceremony yesterday at the Mont Febe hotel in Yaounde, the president of Fecafoot, Tombi A Roko said the training was warranted by the indiscipline which has been prevailing within the senior national football selection for some time.
He cited the repeated failures of the Indomitable Lions at the World Cups in Spain 1982, South Africa 2010 and Brazil 2014 as a result of indiscipline with the hallmark being the refusal of the Lions to receive the national flag during the send off match for the World Cup in Brazil. He said victory during the 2016 feminine AFCON and 2019 AFCON will come through discipline and patriotism. The Director General of ENAM, Linus Toussaint Mendjana disclosed that idea of the convention was the brain child of the president of Fecafoot and himself saying the ambition of ENAM is to train not only the players but also the officials of Fecafoot on notions such as strategies of communication, the drawing up of a budget, auditing, accounting, administrative writing and a host of other issues.
He disclosed that the lessons will be tailored according to the target group and according to the availability of the players beginning with the intermediate selection currently in camp to prepare for the upcoming African nations championship to take place in Rwanda. Prominent among those present during the signing ceremony which was interspersed by musical interludes from the ENAM orchestra were the representatives of the Minister of Public Works, the representative of the National Olympic and Sports Committee and the mayor of Meyomessala, who was guest of honour.
