Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou left Mendoza to arrive in Buenos Aires, the capital of Argentina, by plane on Tuesday, a few hours after their lawyers filed for the withdrawal of the case with the general prosecutor. “For what? To be more peaceful. It is not easy for them to stay in the province of Mendoza. They want to stay until the last moment. But the truth is that the process (of justice) is longer than expected, ” one of their representatives, German Hnatow, confirmed from the airport on the Canal 7 television channel.

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 local prosecutor’s office. 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.

“They cannot rest easy in the area where their photo has been released since one day,” German Hnatow told some journalists. The public prosecutor is already aware of the change of address. They have the right to travel to Argentina. Friends and family are waiting for them. If necessary, they will come back (to Mendoza). They hope to return to their country soon. »

According to Rafael Cúneo Libarona, who also represents France, it could be “as early as this week”. The request to drop the charges filed by the defense will be reviewed within ten days by the Argentine courts.

The facts of which Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jejou have 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 a test match 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.
