TESTIMONY – Argentina, which accuses the two French rugby players of having beaten and raped her on July 6, in Mendoza, Argentina, spoke out just a few hours after their arrival on French soil.
“I feel completely abandoned by the justice system in Mendoza.” The 39-year-old Argentinian, who accuses two French rugby players of raping her on July 6 in Mendoza, Argentina, reacted to the arrival of the two players in France on September 4 in an interview filmed by AFP.
“I am being treated like a criminal when I am a victim,” she protested. “They both deserve to spend at least 20 years in prison.”
“Money can move mountains”
The woman who said she was beaten and then raped by Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou also accuses France of doing everything it could to keep the two rugby players out of Argentine justice: “Money can move mountains. And France spent a lot of money to allow them to leave Argentine territory.”
The rugby players were authorized by the Argentine justice system to leave the country, following the recommendation of the Mendoza prosecutor’s office, for whom “the initial accusation has lost its force.”
Jegou and Auradou, who claim that the sexual relations were consensual, remain charged with “aggravated gang rape”, and a hearing is to be held in the coming days to examine a request(…) - 20minutes
