Verdicts Expected in Trial over Killing of Argentina Rugby Player Aramburú in Paris
Prosecutors sought up to 27 years for the two main defendants, who admitted the shooting but denied premeditation.
- Verdicts are expected Friday in the trial of four defendants accused of killing former Argentina rugby player Federico Martin Aramburu in 2022.
- The 42-year-old Aramburu was killed in March 2022 while leaving a bar in Paris' Latin Quarter with Shaun Hegarty, after an argument with far-right activists including Priol and Romain Bouvier escalated into the fatal shooting.
- Advocate General Philippe Courroye requested a 27-year prison sentence for Priol, who fired the fatal shots, and 20 years for Bouvier, telling the court they "meted out their own brand of private justice."
- In closing statements, Priol invoked his Christian faith, stating "I hope that one day the family will find the strength to forgive me," while Bouvier said he would "never find words adequate to the suffering and dignity of Mr. Aramburu's family."
- Prosecutors requested a three-year sentence for Lyson Rochemir, Priol's ex-girlfriend, for destroying evidence, as the trial concludes while Pope Leo opens a four-day trip to France.
