Trial opens in Paris over murder of Argentina rugby star Federico Aramburu
Two former members of a violent far-right group will face trial on murder and attempted murder charges.
The trial over the murder of former Argentina rugby international Federico Aramburu opens in Paris on Monday, more than four years after he was shot dead in the French capital following an altercation near the Boulevard Saint-Germain.
Two former members of a violent far-right group will face trial on murder and attempted murder charges.
Loik Le Priol, 32, who investigators say fired the fatal shots, is charged with murder. His associate Romain Bouvier, 35, who prosecutors say also fired a weapon during the incident, is charged with attempted murder.
The three defendants fled, according to prosecutors. Rochemir was arrested in Paris later that day, and Bouvier a few days later in the Sarthe region. A third man, Antony Sorrentino, is also on trial, accused of helping Bouvier evade arrest. Le Priol was arrested in Hungary while attempting to cross into Ukraine.
