Jakarta –
Police French released two men who had been detained on suspicion of complicity rape towards a Mexican tourist in the Champ de Mars park, at the foot Eiffel Tower in the center of Paris.
The two men were detained last Thursday in an ongoing investigation into the alleged rape of the Mexican woman, prosecutors said Paris.
“At this stage of the investigation, detention has been lifted,” prosecutors said, without giving further details. “The investigation is still ongoing,” the prosecutor added, as reported by the news agency AFPSaturday (29/7/2023).

Le Parisien daily, which first reported the incident, said the 27-year-old woman was attacked by five men. Prosecutors have not confirmed the report.
The Champ de Mars is a large park that stretches from the Eiffel Tower, and is very popular with tourists and locals alike.
Unlike most Parisian parks which close at night, the Champ de Mars is accessible around the clock.
Reports of this rape incident reignited pressure on Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo to close the park at night for security reasons.
