The judiciary added to its probe of Manuel Adorni's assets the purchase of a collectible flipper valued at 8,000 dollars.

The judicial investigation into Cabinet chief Manuel Adorni's patrimonial evolution incorporated a new element. Journalist Romina Manguel revealed that the official acquired a collectible Los Locos Addams flipper manufactured by Bally in 1992.

The item, valued at 8,000 dollars, was received in July 2025. At that time his net salary as a public official stood below 2 million pesos per month.

Cash payment forms part of a pattern detected by prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita. It includes 245,000 dollars paid for renovations at his Indio Cuá country house and a mattress purchase of 8,183,383 pesos made on June 2, 2025.

The prosecutor's office is also reviewing family trips and the purchases of a house and an apartment justified with loans from friends.

What people are saying

Initial reactions on X criticize Adorni's 8000-dollar flipper purchase as evidence of corruption and illicit enrichment, contrasting it with his reported salary and ongoing judicial probe into his assets; posts from media and users express skepticism and outrage over luxury spending amid Argentina's economic crisis.
