A French court sentenced two far-right activists to 26 and 19 years in prison for the 2022 murder of Argentine rugby player Federico Martín Aramburú. The incident occurred in a Paris brasserie in March 2022 after a dispute between Aramburú and his friend Shaun Hegarty with Loïk Le Priol and Romain Bouvier. The court found that while neither defendant had premeditated the killing, they intended to kill the unarmed rugby player when they chased him after leaving the bar.
Le Priol, a 32-year-old ex-soldier, was sentenced to 26 years for murder, citing his narcissistic rage and psychopathic disorders. Bouvier, 35, received a 19-year sentence for attempted murder for firing the initial shot. Both defendants maintained during the trial that they acted in self-defense against Aramburú and Hegarty. Le Priol later apologized to Aramburú's family, expressing hope for their forgiveness. The trial has sparked calls for justice in Aramburú's native Argentina.
