Overview
- A television program on A24 published purported WhatsApp chats between Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni and contractor Matías Tabar that show Adorni offering support and saying his lawyer would call.
- The exchange came before Tabar’s sworn statement to prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita, where he said Adorni paid about 245,000 dollars in cash without invoices for upgrades at a house in the Indio Cuá country club.
- Tabar wrote in the messages that he had been advised to end all contact and said he would tell the truth, a point prosecutors could review for signs of improper pressure.
- Courts are gathering records in separate cases that examine a Caballito apartment purchase and reported furniture buys worth about 14 million pesos, and further subpoenas or steps are under consideration.
- President Javier Milei called Tabar a kirchnerist and a liar on TV, and Tabar replied on X that he had supported Milei and felt hurt by the claim, sharpening the political fight around the case.
