Five of the 19 Israelis released after a week in custody in connection with the rape of a 26-year-old British woman were released on Thursday afternoon (7/XNUMX).
At least three of them are already in Israel, after one of them traveled on Thursday, while the other two left Cyprus early on Friday morning. It should be noted that the five were released after DNA results showed that they were not connected to the room where the rape allegedly took place.
"I do not know what they have done, if they have done anything. I don't know anything, "one of the three young men who went to Israel told Arutz Sheva.
The father of one of the Israelis, who rushed to welcome his son yesterday at Ben Gurion International Airport, said in the same medium, "We will go home now and leave all this behind."
Earlier on Thursday, Nir Yaslovitz, one of the defense attorneys for some of the suspects, commented that the release of the five young men "is the first crack in the history of the 19-year-old British woman".
On Friday, according to Maariv, two other Israelis returned to Israel. One of them broke his silence and stated that "it was a nightmare. I will never return to Cyprus. All I want is to go home. "
The third Israeli who returned to his country confessed that he had been saved by a selfie he had taken with his girlfriend when the 19-year-old complained that the rape had taken place.
"I was saved thanks to a selfie with my girlfriend that I took that night, since it was a clear haze. I was with my girlfriend and not with the British woman. "
It is recalled that 7 suspected Israelis were brought before the Court on Friday morning for the complaint of the British gang rape, in an apartment complex in Ayia Napa. A seven-day detention was ordered against the seven suspects.
