Overview
- Senator Patricia Bullrich pressed Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni to file his sworn asset declaration now, and President Javier Milei said he will keep him in the post and advance the filing.
- The federal probe led by Judge Ariel Lijo with prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita lifted tax secrecy on Adorni and his wife to trace the origin of funds used for property purchases and renovations.
- Contractor Matías Tobar testified that Adorni paid $245,000 in cash for luxury home works and spent 14 million pesos on furniture for a Buenos Aires apartment.
- Tensions inside La Libertad Avanza grew as allies argued over Adorni’s future and a contentious cabinet meeting was expected, with lawmakers saying the fight is slowing the government’s agenda.
- In a separate provincial case, Judge Marcelo Sago ordered a psychological exam and a cellphone analysis in the inquiry of deputy Javier Galán, who faces four complaints and could face a request to lift his legislative immunity.
