| Description | Abuse of young girls and possibly minors in a Ljubljana art gallery |
The Fotopub affair was the exposure of the abuse of young girls at basement parties of the Fotopub art gallery in Ljubljana.[1]
History
Roman Uranjek and Josip Dušan Smodej organized parties in the basement of the Fotopub in Ljubljana, a building belonging to the Society for Contemporary Culture Fotopub (Fotopub Society). A week before Uranjek's death, on August 9th, an Instagram account was started "against violence of Dušan Smodej", with victim accounts of Smodej’s sexual violence, as well as financial scams. These parties were also said to be attended by some prominent politicians of the Levica (The Left). The Fotopub Society had received grants by the Ministry to support cultural programmes. The police officer who investigated the Bullmastiff Affair, and was accused of helping to cover it up, was reportedly also involved in the investigation.[2]
“the left-wing cultural and political cream moved to the Smodej – Uranjek sex orgy affair after the bullmastiff garage affair [...] the publication of the list of those who indulged in these orgies, in which minors were also allegedly abused, would bring down this government!.”
