Trial opens in Paris for murder of Argentina rugby star
Two far-right activists face murder charges after a late-night bar dispute escalated into a shooting that killed former Argentina rugby international Federico Martin Aramburu.
- On Monday, the murder trial for Loïk Le Priol and Romain Bouvier opened in Paris over the March 19, 2022, killing of former Argentina rugby international Federico Martin Aramburu, with both men facing life sentences if convicted.
- After a late-night argument at Le Mabillon in Paris's Latin Quarter turned violent on March 19, 2022, the far-right activists pursued and shot Aramburu as the groups separated, according to investigators.
- Surveillance footage captured the events from the first day, while prosecutors also examined the defendants' prior 2015 conviction for beating a former GUD official, illustrating a pattern of politically motivated violence.
- Argentina's players and federation publicly called for justice, with teammates wearing T-shirts reading "Justicia por Fede" in his memory before a match against Australia last Saturday.
- Le Priol claimed his actions were "a pure reflex," stating he "wasn't himself" and "was in Africa," though prosecutors contrast this with evidence of the calculated nature of the shooting.
