Loïk Le Priol, 32, admitted on Monday, September 21, 2026, to shooting former Los Pumas player Federico Aramburú, claiming he acted out of "pure military instinct" and denied intent to kill, stating he was defending himself from physical aggression.
He apologized to the victim's family.
The other accused, Romain Bouvier, 34, is scheduled to testify on Tuesday, September 22, with a verdict expected on Friday, September 25.
The trial for the 2022 assassination of Federico Aramburú continued throughout the week of September 14-18, with four people on trial, including Le Priol, prosecuted for assassination, and Bouvier, for attempted assassination.
Family, friends, and psychiatric experts testified.
On Thursday, September 17, psychiatrists analyzed Le Priol's behavior, with one expert describing him as "psychopathic" and another diagnosing "narcissistic fury." Psychiatrist Daniel Zagury also spoke about Le Priol and Bouvier's "psychosomatic disorders" and emphasized "verbal hatred." On Tuesday, September 15, Shaun Hegarty, a close friend and former teammate of Aramburú, testified, recounting the victim's last words: "Call the Police, I'm Going to Die." Hegarty described holding Aramburú as he died and seeing him choke with blood in his mouth.
A bouncer from the Mabillon bar also testified, claiming to have seen Le Priol load his weapon before pursuing Aramburú.
On Monday, September 14, Aramburú's wife, mother, and former rugby legend Gonzalo Quesada gave emotional testimonies.
The trial began on Monday, September 7, in Paris, with Le Priol testifying on the first day, stating he acted in self-defense after an altercation in a bar and fired six shots.
Investigators testified on Wednesday, September 9, stating that Le Priol and Bouvier "emptied their magazines" to "kill," with one commissioner describing the event as an "execution." Forensic reports indicated "Ten Shots in Eight Seconds." Both Le Priol and Bouvier were members of Groupe Union Défense (GUD), a far-right student group disbanded in 2024.
Aramburú was fatally shot in Paris on March 19, 2022.
