The Paris prosecutor’s office has requested the referral to the assizes of two far-right activists, Loïk Le Priol and Romain Bouvier, suspected of having shot dead the former Argentinian rugby international, Federico Martin Aramburu, in March 2022, after a “manhunt”confirmed his family’s lawyer on Monday, August 5.

“At the end of an investigation during which the accused tried to shirk their terrible responsibilities, the family of Federico Martin Aramburu is relieved that the Paris prosecutor’s office has given the exact description of the facts of which he was the victim”reacted to the AFP Yann Le Bras, who defends the family of the ex-player.
