Drone outside bedroom window triggers privacy investigation

A drone outside the bedroom window of Luka Mesec has prompted a criminal investigation into what is being described as a severe violation of privacy. The incident coincides with growing scrutiny of the 'propaganda cellars' and disinformation tactics attributed to the SDS party, alongside claims that political loyalists are tightening their grip on the police force in Maribor.

In the courts, proceedings have been halted in a three-year-old case involving violence against a 13-year-old girl, leaving the incident without a legal resolution. At the airport, security stopped a traveler who had packed more than 100,000 euros in cash into paper bags.

The healthcare system is facing its own departures, with ten doctors in Maribor resigning in just eleven days. Elsewhere, the government has handed control of the Housing Fund to a Chinese car importer, while the capital’s mayoral candidates have found rare consensus in opposing a new incinerator, leaving only the incumbent, Zoran Jankovic, to defend the project.
