Police seized a single cannabis plant at the Radlje ob Dravi home of former SDS lawmaker Alenka Helbl last week, prompting an investigation by regional authorities. Helbl stated that the plant belonged to her ill husband, who is a lung patient, and questioned the necessity of the search.
A routine police intervention in northern Slovenia has drawn public attention after targeting the home of a prominent political figure. Officers searched the residential property in Radlje ob Dravi where Helbl lives with her family, uncovering a single growing plant located on the premises.
Police Seizure and Ongoing Drug Investigation in Radlje ob Dravi
The Celje Police Directorate confirmed to reporters that officers carried out a house search on the Koroška region property related to suspected illicit drug possession. Authorities seized a single plant during the operation and dispatched it for laboratory analysis to determine its exact chemical composition. Iz Celjske policijske uprave so za N1 potrdili, da so policisti teden dni nazaj na koroškem območju izvedli hišno preiskavo zaradi suma protizakonitega ravnanja z prepovedanimi substancami. Rastlino so poslali v analizo, preiskava pa še poteka. The inquiry remains active as investigators await final test results.
While officials have not disclosed further procedural details, local reporting located the plant on the garden plot of the residential home. Podrobnosti postopka policija za zdaj ni razkrila. Po podatkih, s katerimi razpolaga N1, so omenjeno prepovedano rastlino našli na vrtu okrog hiše, kjer z družinskimi člani prebiva nekdanja poslanka Alenka Helbl.
Personal Response From Alenka Helbl Regarding the Search
Helbl addressed the incident publicly on Facebook, detailing the impact of the police action on her household. Alenka Helbl je prek omrežja Facebook javnost obvestila, da je njen dom pred kratkim prestal policijsko racijo. She explained that the seized plant belonged to her husband, who lives with a lung condition and sought relief through cultivation. Kot pravi, naj bi bila povod za to ena sama sadika konoplje, ki jo je njen soprog, sicer pljučni bolnik, imel zase z željo, da bi si olajšal zdravstveno stanje.
Alenka Helbl stated that because of a single cannabis plant that my husband, a lung patient, kept for himself and in the hope that it might help him, we experienced a police search of our home.
The former parliamentarian added that while she respects the legal system and understands that law enforcement officers were executing their professional responsibilities, the experience left a deep emotional toll on her family. Nekdanja poslanka pravi, da jo je dogodek pretresel. Ob tem sicer poudarja, da spoštuje zakonske predpise in se zaveda, da so policisti le opravljali svoje zadolžitve, vendar se ob tem sprašuje, ali je bil poseg tako velikega obsega zaradi ene same sadike zares smiseln.
It is hard to describe the feeling when someone searches the space where you live, where your family, your memories, and your privacy are. I respect the laws and understand that the police are doing their job. But it hurts all the same. And the question remains whether all of this was really necessary because of a single plant. Alenka
Helbl also noted that she had no intention of leveling accusations against individual officers. Instead, she pointed to the overwhelming sense of vulnerability that accompanies an unexpected state intrusion into private quarters. Helbl SDS zastopa tudi v radeljskem občinskem svetu.
Political Background and Ministry Appointment
The incident places the former official back into public view following shifts in her professional career. V obdobju po letošnjih parlamentarnih volitvah je Helblova najprej prejemala nadomestilo za preteklo poslansko funkcijo, nato pa jo je vlada pod vodstvom Janeza Janše sredi poletja zaposlila v šolskem resorju. Na ministrstvu za izobraževanje, znanost in mladino jo je namreč vlada Janeza Janše sredi julija postavila na mesto vršilke dolžnosti direktorice direktorata, pristojnega za srednje in višje šolstvo ter izobraževanje odraslih, so še dodali v poročanju.
