The outgoing Colombian president accused Black Cube of meddling in the election.

The political tensions in Colombia have intensified after outgoing President Gustavo Petro accused the Israeli private intelligence firm Black Cube of interfering in the recent presidential election. Petro claims that Black Cube manipulated computer systems and algorithms to influence the outcome in favor of the far-right candidate Abelardo de la Espriella. He alleges that these actions included altering voter rolls by replacing non-voters with individuals who could vote multiple times. While Petro has not yet presented evidence for his claims, he insists that Israel is the only country capable of such interference. The Colombian electoral authorities have declared Abelardo de la Espriella the winner, and international observers have confirmed the election's legitimacy. Petro also suggested that Black Cube collaborated with the Bautista family, owners of Thomas Greg & Sons, which provided technological support to the national electoral office.
