A Paris court on Friday sentenced the two men found principally responsible for the 2022 killing of Argentine rugby player Federico Martin Aramburu, closing out a case that drew attention to far-right networks in the French capital.
Loik Le Priol, who fired the shots that killed Aramburu, was sentenced to 26 years in prison. Romain Bouvier, who fired the first shots during the altercation, received a 19-year sentence. Judges found that both men had links to the far right.
Aramburu, a former Argentina international who had played professionally in France, was shot in central Paris in March 2022 following a confrontation that investigators said began as a chance late-night dispute before escalating into gunfire.
The verdict brings a formal legal conclusion to a case that had been closely watched both in France and in Argentina, where Aramburu remained a well-known figure from his playing career.
