Overview
- On Thursday, June 11, Manuel Adorni submitted corrected asset declarations that admit roughly USD 500,000 in previously undeclared savings, including substantial bitcoin holdings he says are kept on a cold wallet pendrive.
- Hours before filing, Adorni enrolled in the Régimen Simplificado under Law 27.799 (the so‑called 'inocencia fiscal'), a tax regularization route he says he used to declare the funds and that he will pay any taxes due.
- The Office of the Anti‑Corruption (OA), ARCA and federal prosecutors at Comodoro Py will now audit the new filings while Judge Ariel Lijo and prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita continue probes into alleged illicit enrichment and incompatible dealings.
- The admission reversed earlier public assurances that his patrimony was fully declared and triggered sharp political fallout: President Javier Milei defended Adorni while the vice‑president, opposition parties and some allied figures demanded congressional interpellation or censure.
- Separately, in Spain José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero’s defence asked the Audiencia Nacional to require detailed U.S. disclosures about how Homeland Security Investigations obtained and transferred phone data, raising chain‑of‑custody and admissibility questions for cross‑border evidence.
