The article reports that members of the Slovenian Parliament's Commission for Oversight of Intelligence and Security Services (Knovs) unanimously approved a minutes document regarding a June inspection of the police related to the Black Cube affair. The commission conducted the inspection due to speculation by some members and others about evidence in the case. During the inspection, the chairperson of the commission, Janja Sluga (Svoboda), accused a member, Zan Mahnič (SDS), of abuse of authority, violation of law, and misrepresentation, particularly after Mahnič claimed during a parliamentary session that there were no evidentiary records, despite being present at the oversight committee meeting where Black Cube had recorded the footage. The police fully cooperated with the inspection, and the commission did not find any irregularities within their jurisdiction. The head of the police, Danijel Lorbek, confirmed that the inspection proceeded normally and in accordance with the law.

The Slovenian parliamentary committee for oversight of intelligence and security services (Knovs), led by its chairperson Sluga, conducted an inspection at the General Police Directorate in early June related to data provided to the prosecution in the Black Cube case. The decision followed allegations by some members of Knovs and others regarding evidence in the affair. During the inspection, the committee accused SDS MP and Knovs member Žan Mahnič of abuse of authority, lawbreaking, and misrepresentation, particularly after he claimed during a session of the National Assembly that there were 'no documents' related to the case, contradicting information shared during the oversight process. The police fully cooperated with the inspection, but Knovs did not find any irregularities. The head of the police, Danijel Lorbek, stated the inspection proceeded normally and in accordance with the law. On the latest meeting of the committee, members confirmed the minutes and appointed members for the next oversight task.
