Manuel Adorni

Manuel Adorni, Chief of Cabinet of Argentina, is currently under federal investigation for alleged illicit enrichment, potential conflicts of interest, and receiving improper gifts. On March 27, 2026, federal prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita charged him following findings of significant, unexplained asset growth and discrepancies in his sworn statements. Key investigations include: Unexplained wealth: Adorni’s declared assets grew from approximately 11.6 million pesos in early 2023 to 944 million pesos by late 2025. Investigations focus on undeclared cryptocurrency investments, real estate purchases in Caballito and the Indio Cuá Golf Club, and high-value expenditures on international family travel and home renovations, which authorities suggest do not align with his official salary. Corporate and family ties: The judiciary is probing state contracts awarded to +BE, a consulting firm owned by his wife, Bettina Angeletti, for services provided to YPF-related entities. Judge Ariel Lijo has ordered the lifting of bank and fiscal secrecy for Adorni, his wife, his mother, and several associates to trace financial flows. Additional scrutiny involves allegations of using private flights for family travel and potential irregularities in medical procurement for the National Disability Agency. Adorni has denied all wrongdoing, stating he will prove his innocence in court. No convictions have been issued.
