Paris trial opens for far-right activists over killing of rugby star Aramburu

legal proceedings

The trial for the killing of former Argentine rugby international Federico Martin Aramburu is set to open in Paris on Monday. Four people, including two linked to France's extreme right, will stand trial for the death of the retired rugby star.

Loik Le Priol and Romain Bouvier, former members of a violent far-right group, have been charged with murder and attempted murder, respectively. If found guilty, they risk facing up to life in jail.

The shooting took place at a bar in the French capital near the Boulevard Saint-Germain following an altercation. The incident occurred in 2022, and the trial opens more than four years after Aramburu was shot dead.
