Aramburu’s family during the tribute one year after his murder (AFP).“Some kind of self defense, can’t take ten bullets fired at a frantic pace. The reality of this case is that Federico Martin Aramburu received four bullets from Loïk Le Priol (one of the defendants), three of them in the back. From his military past, we know that he has an absolute command of handling weapons. He knows where and what he is aiming for. Your presentation of the facts at this hearing is legally unreasonable and humanly obscene.Le Bras explained.
Subsequently, the defender of the albiceleste medalist in the World Rugby 2007 expressed his disappointment at the lack of attention and judicial inactivity granted by the French State itself.

“The silence and the lack of reaction of the political class after these shots in the heart of Paris, in a tourist street, marked me. There was no condemnation of the Minister of the Interior at that time, nor of Emmanuel Macron (president) or Jean Castex (prime minister until May 2022)“, he stated in dialogue with Le Parisien.

Continuing his anger, the lawyer mentioned a French subversive group: “There has been for some time a disinhibition of the violent extreme right. There is an electoral impulse towards the National Association. I don’t confuse these violent extremists with the voters who vote for this party, but they do benefit from it. Sometimes they are small groups that serve as logistical support for certain parties“.
Le Priol and Bouvier, presumed assassins of Aramburu.Also, the man mentioned the notorious failures of the surveillance system of characters considered dangerous in France, such as the case of the alleged murderers of Aramburu.
“In fact, these individuals were prohibited from being together and carrying weapons. The reality is that they are together, they carry weapons, and they have an impressive arsenal of several dozen weapons. Surveillance (…) and its judicial controls (established in another case) have not done so. We know that there cannot be a police officer behind every activist, but have we taken the measure of his dangerousness?” she concluded.
