Presented this Friday to an investigating judge, the 27-year-old former GUD activist, main suspect in the murder of the Argentinian rugby player on May 19


End of course Loïk Le Priol.

The 27-year-old far-right activist was indicted on Friday in Paris for murder before being imprisoned.

He is suspected of having, in the company of his companion Lison and his friend Romain Bouvier, shot and killed the ex-rugby player Federico Martin Aramburu, aged 42, on Saturday March 19 in the early morning on the boulevard Saint-Germain in Paris.

In the box of the judge of detention and freedoms, Le Priol looks like a musketeer.

Medium length brown hair and goatee.

His lawyer Me Xavier Nogueras and the prosecutor obtained the camera.

“Loïk Le Priol recognized that what had happened was a tragedy”, underlines his advice which evokes threats made on the family of the young man, launched by the Basque community and people from the far left movement.

Loïk Le Priol arrived at Roissy airport on Thursday evening.

He had been arrested in Zahony (Hungary) when he wanted to join Ukraine to fight.

During his hearing before the investigating judge, the young man made no statement.

What happened on that tragic morning on one of the most chic boulevards in the capital?

It is 6 a.m. when the former Argentinian international and his friend Shawn Hegarty are sitting on the terrace of the Mabillon.

For a wrong word an altercation breaks out with two other customers: Loïk Le Priol and Romain Bouvier.

The rugby player grabs Loïk's hood and puts him on the ground before the bouncer of the establishment separates them.

Everything could have ended there, if these men had shown themselves to be reasonable.

While the two ex-athletes and associates go up the boulevard towards Saint-Michel, the two ex-militants of the GUD (union defense group) are on the hunt, determined to take revenge.

They are both armed with pistols.

In front of number 146, a jeep driven by Lison stops in front of the two victims.

Romain, who is in the passenger seat, opens fire.

The Priol arises and throws itself on Aramburu.

Romain enters the fight.

They are two against one.

Six shots were fired, two of which were fatal, but the weapons used were not found by the investigators.
