The growing evidence for energy-conserving outflows in luminous AGN supports the idea that AGN feedback is driven by high-velocity, nuclear X-ray winds launched from the accretion disc that undergo a shock with the ambient medium, giving rise to powerful molecular outflows on outer galaxy scale. Radio emission is likely to play a central role in these processes, but its effect in driving/altering the outflow phenomenology is not established. The proposed target IRAS17020+4544 has a radio luminosity typical of FRI galaxies. However, its morphology is remarkably peculiar on both kiloparsecs and parsec-scales. Using deep and well uv sampled observations, we aim to characterise in details the properties of the sub-arcsec radio emission. To do so, we request 12h at 1.6 GHz and 5 GHz bands (24h in total, including overheads) with EVN+e-MERLIN. A complementary granted VLA proposal will provide the most complete view of the radio structures at all scales of interest.
