Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni requested to join the simplified earnings regime along with his wife Bettina Angeletti. The move comes as he faces an investigation for alleged illicit enrichment and ahead of the June 15 deadline to file his asset declaration.
Adorni filed the request with the Agencia de Recaudación y Control Aduanero (ARCA) on Wednesday. The regime, enabled by Law 27.799, lets the agency prepare a pre-filled return and exempts filers from reporting personal assets and consumption. The official and his wife stated they will not enter any asset whitening process and only seek to simplify the filing. Adorni had praised the law on social media in December 2025. The opposition criticized the move. Deputy Esteban Paulón called them “two delinquents” and said the law serves to launder corruption funds. Maximiliano Ferraro of the Coalición Cívica warned it amounts to “a big drawing” and called for excluding public officials from the regime.
