The 20 points that Manuel Adorni should explain

The prosecutor Pollicita ordered the former Chief of Staff to specify the origin of his funds and those of his wife>LA NATION>PoliticsFederal prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita submitted today an opinion stating that former Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni enriched himself during his time in public office and detailed 20 inconsistencies that, according to the prosecutor, arise from comparing his sworn declarations with his expenses and investments, in light of documents and testimonies gathered during the judicial investigation.1Cash dollars2Family loans3The purchase of the Jeep4The house in the country5Reforms, jacuzzi, and waterfall6Furniture from Caballito7The company of the new apartment8Inheritances9Travel, expenses, and schools10Expenses with third-party cards11Crypto transactions12Other financial movements13Receipts from ARCA15Notary fees16Additional expenses19Refurbishment of the Miró apartment1Cash dollarsAs part of the correction of his sworn declarations made last June, Adorni declared 400 million pesos, which he had not previously reported, originating from "sale of assets." This would correspond to the latest version Adorni provided about his assets, according to which this money comes from the sale of cryptocurrencies he owned before entering public office. The prosecutor demands that Adorni specify the origin of the declared cash dollars and the basis of the "sale of assets" operation invoked as the source, indicating which assets were sold, on what dates, to whom, for what amounts, and with what banking, registration, or stock market traceability, as well as the timing and documentary support of these rectifications. 2Family loansAdorni declared that he owed his mother, Silvia Pais, 16 million pesos, and another to the estate of his grandmother, Norma Zuccolo, for 18 million. The prosecutor seeks proof from Adorni of the existence and certainty of these loans, the actual delivery of the funds, their application, and the evolution of the obligations. 3The purchase of the JeepWithout selling his 2019 Renault Captur, in 2024, already as an official, Adorni bought a 2021 Jeep Compass Sport. The prosecutor now requests that he justify the funds used for the acquisition of this vehicle. 4The house in the countryIn November 2024, the Adorni bought the property on lot 380 of the Country Indio Cuá. The prosecutor asked the former Chief of Staff to explain the origin of the funds used to acquire it, how they paid the entrance fee to the development, and why it appears solely in Bettina Angeletti's name. Initially, Adorni had not declared this property to the Anti-Corruption Office in 2025, when he should have. He only rectified it in April, with the criminal investigation already underway.5Reforms, jacuzzi, and waterfallThe prosecutor also states that Adorni must explain the origin of the funds allocated for the comprehensive remodeling of the house that the Adorni bought in Indio Cuá. Specifically, the $245,000 paid to contractor Matías Tabar for those works. Pollicita demanded an explanation of the origin of the money and the receipts for those payments.6Furniture from CaballitoIn his judicial statement, Tabar, who complicated Adorni significantly in the criminal case for illicit enrichment by revealing payments of $245,000 for the renovation of Indio Cuá, also said that the then-official had commissioned—and paid for—furniture for the apartment they bought in the neighborhood of Caballito. Pollicita asked the former official to explain the source of those funds, paid "in dollars and in cash," according to the case evidence. 7The company of the new apartmentThe prosecutor also states that the origin of the funds used to purchase the property at Miró 500, in Caballito, as well as the nature and terms of that operation, are unclear. 8InheritancesPollicita requested that Adorni explain the origin of the assets he said he received through "inheritance, legacy, or donation" and provide "the instrument, date, and person from whom they came." The prosecutor emphasizes that this is very important because with these entries, Adorni "aims to explain the bulk of the verified patrimonial increase." 9Travel, expenses, and schoolsThe prosecution demanded that Adorni explain the source of the cash—both pesos and foreign currency—that he used for trips abroad, temporary rentals, expenses, school fees, and enrollments. Pollicita detailed that the 35,000 pesos he received as an official and the verified income of his spouse totaled 229,752,283.20 pesos. He also specified that the family group incurred expenses on motor vehicle insurance, expenses, payments for appliances, services, taxes, travel, and credit cards, among other items, totaling 272,820,832.20 pesos. He then stated that the difference is 43,068,549 pesos. Not counting the hundreds of thousands of dollars, which, in the prosecutor's opinion, are not properly justified. 10Expenses with third-party cardsPollicita asked Adorni to explain "the repeated use of third parties to acquire goods and make payments," as well as the origin of the cash with which he reimbursed those operations. Two people working under him in the national government lent Adorni their credit cards so he could buy a video game monitor and two projectors. The monitor cost 2,184,999 pesos and the projectors, 1,800,000 each. Adorni's salary at that time was about 3.5 million pesos. Additionally, another person working at Casa Rosada appears as the holder of a purchase of 8 million pesos (mattresses and white linen for the house in Indio Cua). She stated that at Adorni's request, she went to the store so that the operation would be in her name, but the money was brought in cash by Angeletti. 11Crypto operationsLast June, Adorni publicly announced that he had invested 200,000 dollars in crypto assets and had earned 300,000. This new version was reflected in his rectified sworn declarations. The prosecutor now demands details of his crypto operations and, in particular, the origin of the capital he claimed to have used to start them. Pollicita recalled that Adorni included in his rectified sworn declarations four virtual asset accounts. The prosecutor also reported that a report from the Financial Investigation and Illicit Asset Recovery Secretariat (Sifrai), dependent on the Public Prosecutor's Office, found links between Adorni and other virtual assets. 12Other financial movementsThe prosecutor wants to verify how Adorni reconciles the level of expenses and financial movements recorded in his accounts—particularly, the salary account at Banco de la Nación Argentina and his spouse's accounts—with the lawful income of the family group. 13ARCA receiptsHe must explain about 20 operations that are supposedly documented and state whether they were actually carried out. These are operations between 2024 and 2025 for an amount exceeding 6 million pesos. He must also demonstrate the level of acquisitions registered under his CUIT during that period in the absence of any commercial activity to support it. 14Bank debtsThe BCRA's debtor registry shows that monthly debts at Banco Galicia exceeded 10 million pesos for Adorni and 15 million pesos for his wife. If these debts were paid off, the prosecutor wants to know how that eventual cancellation was handled. 15Notary feesPollicita wants to know in detail how much the notary Adriana Mónica Nechevenko received in fees for the three real estate transactions of the couple, and why they were fully billed to Angeletti, Adorni's wife. 16Additional expensesThe technical report received by the prosecutor detected additional expenses on two of Adorni's cards. The prosecutor now seeks to know who paid each bill and whether reimbursements were made, with indication of date, amount, and method. He must clarify what portion of the total reported by DAFI corresponds to each card and holder, without attributing to the defendant the expenses financed by third parties. 17Another car?The prosecutor wants to know if the billing issued by a car dealership to Bettina Julieta Angeletti for more than 4 million pesos in 2026 corresponds to the acquisition of an undeclared vehicle, an accessory operation of the one already considered for the calculation, or another concept, with individualization of the good, the price, the payment method, and the origin of the funds. 18Salary accountThe prosecutor seeks to determine the concept and origin of non-salary credits received in the salary account at Banco de la Nación Argentina that do not come from government agencies or movements between his own accounts, specifying their cause. 19Refurbishment of the Miró apartmentThe prosecutor seeks clarifications about the renovations in the Miró 550 apartment, in Caballito. Adorni must specify which specific disbursements financed those improvements, with what funds, and the proportion attributed to each spouse. In the purchase of the property, it was agreed to pay 65,000 dollars outside the deed to cover renovations, according to one of the participants in the operation. Additionally, Adorni would have spent 14 million pesos on furnishing it. He paid in cash. 20Indio CuaIn his sworn declaration, Adorni reports as a novelty the revaluation and consolidation in the declaration of the house in the country of Indio Cua, in Exaltación de la Cruz. It concerns lot 380. He declares 50% ownership valued at 156.9 million pesos, which implies a significant increase from its initial valuation. However, the submission does not detail improvements, expansions, or interventions explaining that increase. The other 50% is in his wife's name, Bettina Angeletti. It is the residence on which contractor Marcelo Tabar declared in court to have received US$245,000 for renovations. Loading banners ...
