Overview
- Recordings published on October 20 appear to capture the La Libertad Avanza lawmaker from Tierra del Fuego directing that the 'desarraigo' travel supplement be turned over to fund party locales and expenses.
- In one clip quoted by outlets, Pauli is heard threatening to cancel contracts and replace staff to ensure receiving 100% of the stipend for party financing.
- Former employee Rolando Correa says he and four other advisers handed over the monthly supplement, estimated at about 500,000 pesos each, for several months.
- Correa reports he was told not to travel to Ushuaia for legislative sessions yet was still required to surrender the travel allowance intended for those trips.
- The leak surfaced after Correa lost a phone storing the conversations and was disseminated by media including Página/12 and Bardeo News, with no formal charges or official investigations reported to date.
