Loïk Le Priol, main suspect in the assassination of former Argentinian rugby player Federico Aramburu, arrived at Charles-de-Gaulle airport (Val-d’Oise) on Thursday evening March 31, franceinfo learned from a source judicial. He was immediately placed in detention. He was extradited from Hungary, where he had been arrested on the night of March 22 to 23, while fleeing. He will be presented on Friday to the investigating judge who issued the European arrest warrant targeting him.
This 27-year-old man, a figure of the ultra-right, was seeking to join Ukraine, according to information from franceinfo. Loïk Le Priol was arrested following an identity check by the Hungarian police, while a European arrest warrant had been issued against him. Known to the intelligence services for being a violent activist, Loïk Le Priol is an ex-soldier, former member of the far-right student union GUD. He is to be tried next June in a case of torture of a former comrade.
Two other people were arrested and detained in the investigation into the death of Federico Aramburu. They are Romain Bouvier, also a member of the ultra-right who was indicted for “assassination”, and a 24-year-old woman, whose name has not been revealed and who is indicted for “complicity in murder” in this case. She was driving the vehicle in which they fled.
Saturday March 19, around 6:45 a.m., Federico Martin Aramburu was killed in front of his hotel, hit by five bullets, after an altercation at the Le Mabillon bar in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, in the 6th arrondissement in Paris.
