Trial in Federico Aramburu murder: 27 years imprisonment sought against Loik Le Priol

The prosecutor's office has requested, before the Paris Assize Court, a sentence of twenty-seven years in prison against Loïk Le Priol, tried for the murder of former international rugby player Federico Aramburu, killed by two bullets in the back in Paris in 2022. A sentence of twenty years has been requested against Romain Bouvier, prosecuted for attempted murder.

The trial, which began on September 7, is due to end on Friday with the pronouncement of the verdict by the Assize Court. According to information reported by Le Monde, Federico Aramburu, a former Argentine international who played in France, was shot twice in the back.

The two men on trial, Loïk Le Priol for murder and Romain Bouvier for attempted murder, have been appearing for several weeks before the Paris Assize Court. The case, which had aroused strong emotion when it occurred in 2022, was the subject of an in-depth investigation before the opening of the trial.

The verdict expected on Friday

The Assize Court is expected to render its decision at the end of the debates, which will have lasted several weeks. The sentences requested by the prosecution - twenty-seven years for Loïk Le Priol and twenty years for Romain Bouvier - are requests submitted to the jury, which will be able to pronounce sentences different from those requested by the prosecutor's office.
