Black Cube links cloud Slovenia's election
Mar 18th 2026
Allegations that Israeli private intelligence firm Black Cube orchestrated secret recordings and met the main opposition leader have prompted claims of foreign interference ahead of Slovenia's parliamentary vote next Sunday.
- A rights group and investigative reporters say Israeli private spy firm Black Cube produced secretly recorded videos that allege corruption in Slovenia.
- An investigative journalist claimed Black Cube officials visited Ljubljana three times and were allegedly welcomed by opposition leader Janez Janša on 22 December.
- SDS denies any contact with Black Cube and Janša said the videos expose unprecedented corruption by the left.
- Prime Minister Robert Golob and Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon accused foreign services of interference and warned the allegations threaten sovereignty and democracy.
- President Nataša Pirc Musar said the activities shown so far seriously undermine Slovenia's democratic foundations.
- Slovenia holds parliamentary elections next Sunday and polls show the conservative opposition led by Janša could regain power.
