The publication of this information motivated the French minister of defense to file a complaint about violation of state secret.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two years after the revelations of the investigative outlet Disclose, journalist Ariane Lavrilleux was detained on September 19, 2023, which sparked outrage among the journalistic community.
