PARIS—A French journalist was arrested and her residence searched Tuesday by the country’s domestic intelligence agency, her employer the investigative news outlet Disclose, said.

Disclose said reporter Ariane Lavrilleux’s detention was linked to her reporting on leaked documents implicating French intelligence’s alleged role in the Egyptian government’s alleged targeting of civilians.
