PARIS (AP) \u2014 The Paris court of appeal on Tuesday ordered a man linked with France\u2019s extreme right to stand trial on a charge of murder in the fatal shooting former Argentina rugby player Federico Mart\u00edn Arambur\u00fa.<\/p>\n
Arambur\u00fa was shot several times in the back in the early hours of March 19, 2022 outside a bar on Paris\u2019 Left Bank. He was 42. The shooting followed an altercation.<\/p>\n
