Federal judge Ariel Lijo ordered urgent protection measures on Saturday for Vanesa Elizabeth Tossi, secretary at JAG Executive Aviation, after she reported harassment by journalist Marcelo Grandio during her Friday testimony. The action follows a request by federal prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita in the probe into Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni's private flights to Punta del Este.
In the case probing Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni's trip to Punta del Este on private flights, federal judge Ariel Lijo issued urgent protection measures on Saturday (March 28, 2026) for Vanesa Elizabeth Tossi. The woman, secretary at JAG Executive Aviation, reported receiving phone calls and messages from journalist Marcelo Grandio—Adorni's friend and a key figure in the investigation—while giving her testimony on Friday.
The court action came at the request of federal prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita, who sought immediate steps due to the reported harassment of the witness.
Meanwhile, the national government stated it will submit the documentation requested by Judge Lijo's court in the coming days. The materials cover footage from Policía de Seguridad Aeroportuaria (PSA) cameras, flight plans from Administración Nacional de Aviación Civil (ANAC), reports from Unidad de Información Financiera (UIF), and requests to the General Secretariat of the Presidency, among others. Responses will be sent in batches starting Monday, per executive sources.
Adorni remains in his position with President Javier Milei's support amid scrutiny over the trip and his undeclared assets. Lawmaker Oscar Zago called for his resignation, saying it harms the government.
