A Paris court delivered its final verdict on Friday, sentencing Loïk Le Priol to 26 years in prison and Romain Bouvier to 19 years for the March 19, 2022, shooting of Federico Martin Aramburu, a former Argentine rugby player. The trial, which lasted three weeks, examined surveillance footage that captured the events of that night. Aramburu was shot ten times on the street near the Mabillon brasserie on Boulevard Saint-Germain. The court found that while neither Le Priol nor Bouvier had planned the killing in advance, both were guilty of murder and attempted murder, respectively. Le Priol, who had initially claimed self-defense, later abandoned that claim, while Bouvier denied any intent to kill, saying he acted out of "total panic." The court rejected the self-defense argument, noting that Le Priol continued to fire after the victim was already wounded. Both men were also found guilty of additional charges, including violence and illegal possession of weapons. The court ruled that the charges of racist murder were not applicable. The case had raised concerns about far-right violence, as Bouvier’s interest in Nazi symbols and weapons was highlighted during the trial. Other defendants, Lyson Rochemir and Anthony Sorrentino, received three-year sentences with probation. The verdict came nearly four and a half years after the incident, which shocked both the rugby community and the people of Paris. Aramburu’s family expressed their ongoing pain and asked for a verdict that would help their three young children move forward. Both Le Priol and Bouvier expressed remorse, with Le Priol stating he would carry the weight of guilt for the rest of his life. The case has sparked broader conversations about the influence of extremist ideologies and the need for greater awareness and prevention of such violence in public spaces.
