The judge in charge of the case, who is examining the request to drop the charges filed by the lawyers of the two French rugby players, charged with aggravated rape, wants to hear all the parties before rendering her decision.
After numerous postponements of hearings and other procedural appeals by the plaintiff's lawyer, the Argentine justice system finally examined, this Monday, the request to drop the proceedings filed by the lawyers of Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou, the two rugby players French people charged with aggravated rape in early July.
At the Mendoza judicial center, the lawyers of the plaintiff, a 39-year-old Argentinian, and those of the players, debated behind closed doors the dismissal of the case requested by the representatives of the two young internationals. The prosecution also pleaded for the prosecution to be dropped, as it announced at the end of the investigation.
The hearing, which began at 9:30 a.m. (2:30 p.m. in France), was adjourned around noon, according to Mendoza media. It will resume tomorrow at the same time and possibly continue on Wednesday, with the judge in charge of the case, Eleonora Arenas, wishing to review the arguments of both parties before rendering her decision.
