Black Cube is a private intelligence agency, which is based in London, Paris and Tel Aviv,[1] and is the trading name of BC Strategy Ltd.[2]
Official narrative
Black Cube told the BBC that it “applies high moral standards to its work, and operates in full compliance with the law of any jurisdiction in which it operates.”[3]
Staff
The company was founded in 2010[4] by former Israeli intelligence officers[5] Dan Zorella and Avi Yanus. Its employees include former members of Israeli intelligence units, including Military Intelligence Directorate (Aman), Mossad and Shin Bet, as well as legal and financial experts.
Activities
Black Cube's main business is "litigation support", in which the company provides intelligence, evidence and advisory services in multi-jurisdictional legal and white collar crime cases.
Black Cube gathered information about women accusing Harvey Weinstein of sexual harassment to try to help him escape conviction. Asher Tishler, a member of Black Cube’s advisory board, remarked “In retrospect, it’s a shame we took the job.“[6]
In Romania, two of its employees were convicted of criminal charges involving harassment and hacking.
Black Cube’s Human intelligence capabilities have proved to be an effective way of exposing fraud, bribery, money laundering and corruption. The company uncovered high-level corruption in the judicial systems of Italy and Panama.[citation needed]
