Argentine authorities yesterday transferred two French rugby players under police guard from Buenos Aires to the western city of Mendoza, where they are expected to appear in court on suspicion of aggravated sexual assault.
The rugby players, Oscar Jegou and Hugo Auradou, arrived in Mendoza after a 1,000km journey from the Argentine capital via police van as prosecutors confirmed the case against the two men would be progressing to court today.
