Trial Opens for Two Far-Right Activists in Killing of Argentine Rugby Star

The trial of two far-right activists accused of killing retired Argentine rugby international Federico Martin Aramburu in Paris began on Monday. The former player was shot and killed outside a bar in the French capital in 2022. The two defendants face charges related to his death. The case has drawn significant attention due to the alleged political motives of the suspects. Aramburu, a well-known figure in the rugby world, had played for Argentina’s national team. The court will now examine the events leading up to the shooting, with proceedings expected to last several weeks. The defendants have not yet entered formal pleas.
