A 39-year-old woman who accused the French rugby players Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou of serious rape in the “suicide attempt” meeting this Friday morning, revealed one of her lawyers Mauricio Cardello. His other representative, Natacha Romano, explained a little earlier to Radio Mitro that “he is not in danger” and that this will be his second attempt to end his life, without specifying when the attack took place. Contact, Natacha Romano did not respond to our questions.

Without giving further details on the health condition of his client, Mauricio Cardello announced that he “will not appear for the medical tests” scheduled for this Tuesday as part of the investigation. On Friday, the plaintiff, a mother of two from Argentina, did not show up for psychological and psychological tests scheduled for the morning in Mendoza. Which is the most important thing in the file. Mauricio Cardello first mentioned “a problem with the opinion of health professionals” who should discuss the results of expert evaluations, before presenting his client’s “internal problems” to justify his absence from the tests . Rafael Cúneo Libarona, the representative of the two rugby players, opposed “a strategy (by the prosecution) that intends to slow down the legal process”.

Defense lawyers plan to file a request for dismissal on Friday with the Mendoza public prosecutor’s office, once the results of expert opinions are in the file. Before deciding to stay four more days. If no new date has been set by the regional prosecutor’s office, the French councils have decided to maintain their process. “We will also file the request (for dropping the charges),” announced Germani Hnatow, who defended the two accusers.

Under house arrest from July 17 to August 12, Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou, who are 21 years old, were released two weeks ago by the Mendoza public prosecutor’s office. He considered that “the first version of the accused (his statement on July 7) is weakened by many elements of evidence”, including testimonies, video surveillance images, voice messages and conclusions of the report . The prosecutors also noted “the existence of noticeable contradictions, inconsistencies, gray areas and even insufficient details” in the file, which were deemed too strong to justify the custody of the two actors.

Still under investigation, the second line from Pau and the third line from La Rochelle have been banned from leaving Argentina and approaching the accused during the investigation. The alleged facts that were alleged took place on the night of July 6 to 7 in room 603 of the diplomatic hotel in Mendoza, following a festive evening after the test match won by the XV of France against Pumas (28-13) . . Both actors declare their innocence, admitting to a consensual sexual relationship with the alleged victim but denying any act of violence.
