A transformation center belonging to the Electricity Transport Network (RTE) was seriously damaged by the flames overnight from Sunday to Monday in Froges (Isère).
The investigation was entrusted to the gendarmes of the research brigade of Meylan (Isère).
The prosecution, quoted by

, said that the track of an arson started by militants of the ultra-left was privileged.
No impact on power supply
