Cédric Jubillar has been in solitary confinement for more than two months in a cell at the Seysses remand center, near Toulouse. As revealed on Tuesday The Parisian, his lawyers must file a request on Wednesday so that he leaves his prison. “This is not a new request for release, specifies to 20 minutes Jean-Baptiste Alary, one of the three defenders of the 34-year-old tackle player. The first time, we appealed against his detention. A request rejected on July 8 by the investigative chamber of the Toulouse Court of Appeal. The new appeal procedure prepared for tomorrow is aimed primarily at the investigating judges in charge of the case.
The first motivation of the lawyers is that their client has still not been heard by the magistrates since his indictment for “murder of a spouse” on June 18. “It has still not been summoned and, from what we understand, it will not be before the month of October,” explains Jean-Baptiste Alary. You don’t leave someone in detention for months without being heard. “
The argument for late analyzes of the quilt
Other grounds for the request relate to the merits of the case. In particular to the famous duvet which covered the sofa where the nurse slept since the breakup of the couple was consumed and that the gendarmes saw in the washing machine the morning when the husband reported his disappearance. “The machine’s quilt and siphon test results are still not on file. And for good reason, we realized that these elements presented as a burden in June were not sent for analysis until July, ”the defender is surprised.
He says that he and his two colleagues are “fierce”. If their plea does not go to the judges’ chambers, the application will go through a long process that could very well end with a new hearing before the investigating chamber.
Delphine Jubillar, 33 years old and mother of two children, vanished from her home in Cagnac-les-Mines (Tarn) on the night of December 15 to 16, 2020. She wanted a divorce to settle down with a lover whom she had met during the summer and the investigation revealed that her husband was aware of the affair. From the start, Cédric Jubillar fiercely denies any involvement in the disappearance of his wife. The latter did not leave the slightest trace.
