The affair which is shaking the world of French rugby has reached a new turning point. The dismissal hearing in the Auradou-Jégou case, initially scheduled for November 1, has been postponed again, this time to Monday, November 25 at 9 a.m. local time, according to information from Le Parisien. A decision which comes after the rejection on appeal of a request from the defense aimed at introducing new elements into the case. The last postponement dates back to November 1, a day on which no date had yet been set before this Tuesday. This postponement was linked to the request of the plaintiff's lawyer, who had presented new documents, ultimately refused, for the file.
The return of Jégou with La Rochelle
If Oscar Jégou and Hugo Auradou are still under threat of investigation, the two players have resumed their daily lives as rugby players in the Top 14. Oscar Jégou made his return to the elite last weekend with La Rochelle, while Hugo Auradou has been playing again for a month with Pau. As a reminder, the two players acknowledge a consensual sexual relationship with the alleged victim but categorically deny any form of violence. The facts with which they are accused took place on the night of July 6 to 7 in a hotel in Mendoza, after a match won by the Blues against Argentina (28-13).
To summarize
The affair which is shaking the world of French rugby has reached a new turning point. The dismissal hearing in the Auradou-Jégou case, initially scheduled for November 1, has been postponed again, this time to Monday November 25.
