After almost five months, numerous postponements of hearings and procedural appeals, the Argentine justice system examines on Monday the request to drop the proceedings filed by the lawyers of Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou, the two French rugby players charged with aggravated rape in this country in July. At the Mendoza judicial center, the lawyers of the plaintiff, a 39-year-old Argentine mother of two children, and those of the players will debate behind closed doors the dismissal requested at the end of August by the representatives of the two young internationals. The prosecution will also plead for the prosecution to be dropped, as it announced at the end of the investigation.
>> All the details here: the request for dismissal examined this Monday, towards an imminent outcome?
The judge presiding over the hearing could render her decision immediately, or more likely put it under advisement within a few days, according to parties in the case.
