She specializes in agricultural and agrifood surveys. And that is visibly disturbing in Brittany. On March 31, journalist Morgan Large, who works for RKB radio, was unpleasantly surprised to discover that two of the bolts securing one of the rear wheels of her car were missing. Following this attempt at sabotage, judicial information was opened on Thursday by the Saint-Brieuc prosecutor's office for "destruction, degradation or deterioration of property belonging to others by the effect of any means likely to create a danger for persons ”,“ concerted obstruction of freedom of expression ”, as well as“ destruction, degradation or willful deterioration of property belonging to others resulting in only slight damage ”.

"An examining magistrate will be quickly appointed to lead the investigations", indicated the public prosecutor of Saint-Brieuc, Bertrand Leclerc.

A complaint was filed jointly on April 13 by Morgan Large, Reporters Without Borders and the National Union of Journalists, who also requested police protection.

At a rally in Rostrenen on April 7, which brought together more than 500 people, Morgan Large explained that she had probably driven several days with this half-unbolted wheel, with her daughter, up to 110 km / h on the fast lane.

“I became a target because I was designated as a target.

My face appeared on the Twitter account of FRSEA Bretagne (Regional Federation of Farmers' Unions), I was clearly the person to attack, ”she said.

We are going to become a civil party, ”said Maxime Tessier, one of his lawyers.
