Argentine Justice has uncovered evidence of Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni taking a family vacation to Aruba in December 2024, based on migration records from the ongoing illicit enrichment investigation triggered by his private flights to Punta del Este. A house in a country club is registered in his wife's name, as political reactions intensify.
In the investigation into alleged illicit enrichment of Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni—sparked by private flights to Punta del Este during carnival weekend—Justice has obtained migration records revealing a commercial flight to Aruba in December 2024 for a 10-day family vacation.
This follows prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita's recent requests for asset probes, prompted by pilot testimony contradicting Adorni's claim of personally paying for the Punta del Este trip.
Additional findings include a domain report confirming a house in Indio Cuá Golf Club (Exaltación de la Cruz) is in the name of Adorni's wife, Julieta Bettina Angeletti. Escritura 120 was signed on November 15, 2024, before notary Adriana Mónica Nechevenko de Schuster, though municipal registration is pending.
Politically, President Javier Milei has called a Cabinet meeting for Monday at noon in the Casa Rosada to reaffirm Adorni's role. Chamber of Deputies head Martín Menem expressed strong support: "I put my hands in the fire for Manuel Adorni," urging Justice to assess evidence carefully.
Opposition lawmakers in Deputies are pushing to interpel Adorni on his assets, separate from his scheduled April 29 management report.
