Overview
- The former chief of cabinet, Manuel Adorni, submitted a 77–78 page written justification Monday responding point‑by‑point to a 20‑point fiscal requerimiento in the probe of his 2023–2026 patrimony.
- Prosecutors had reconstructed a gap of ARS 43,068,549 between lawful incomes and reconstructed expenses and flagged dollar transactions, property purchases and renovation payments for further explanation.
- Adorni’s defense says most dollars come from earlier Bitcoin liquidations carried out between 2014 and 2018, estimating proceeds of about USD 591,544.61 from eight addresses and saying the wallets are now empty and linked to notarized proofs.
- The filing disputes the contractor’s claim about Indio Cuá renovations by reporting payments of roughly USD 174,954.58 instead of the contractor’s ~USD 245,000 and attaching accounting and technical reports to support that figure.
- Next steps are procedural: fiscal Gerardo Pollicita will analyze the evidence and may order expert tests, witness statements or an indagatoria before Judge Ariel Lijo, while the presidential office has declined to comment beyond waiting for the judiciary.
