Held since August in England on seven rape charges (originally eight), the trial of French footballer Benjamin Mendy (28) has been adjourned until "
at least
" next Tuesday, due to a case of Covid-19 in the jury.
“
What we're going to do is wait until Monday and then ask the juror how he feels.
If he is negative and feels well enough, the idea is that we will sit again on Tuesday
, ”clarified the judge.
Since the start of the trial, Benjamin Mendy has denied the charges against him.
Before the interruption, the day of this Tuesday had started with the cross-examination of the tenth plaintiff.
