Argentine prosecutors have announced that two French rugby players accused of violently raping a woman will be permitted to fly back to France as the case continues to unfold. The players, Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou, were arrested in Mendoza after a 39-year-old Argentine woman filed a complaint alleging that they had raped her.
The decision to allow the accused athletes to leave the country is pending approval from a judge in Mendoza. The players have consistently maintained their innocence in the face of these serious allegations.
