Adorni omitted wife's asset annex from his sworn statement

Argentina's Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni, faces renewed scrutiny over his financial disclosures following the submission of revised declarations for 2025 and rectifications of previous filings. Sources indicate that the Anti-Corruption Office (OA) has received these updated documents. However, a key piece of information, the reserved annex detailing his wife Bettina Angeletti's assets, remains missing, as Adorni has not yet submitted it.

“

He has until July 31 to submit the reserved annex, the date on which the deadline for submitting financial declarations to the OA expires.

This omission is particularly significant because Adorni has recently modified central aspects of his financial statements. The absence of his wife's asset details prevents a complete picture of the family's wealth, especially since Adorni has partially attributed his revised financial status to his wife's income and accumulated savings. The delay in submitting this annex raises questions about potential further modifications before the financial picture is finalized and subject to judicial review.

“

I am at the disposal of the Justice system for whatever it requires.

Sources close to Adorni state he has until July 31 to submit the annex, coinciding with the deadline for financial declarations to the OA. This is not the first time Adorni has delayed submitting his wife's asset information; he also did so for his previous declaration, only submitting it in April of this year after the investigation into his alleged illicit enrichment had already advanced. During that period, he disclosed the purchase of a house in the Indio Cua country club.

“

The family's economic situation could not be analyzed solely on the basis of his personal income, but rather the labor trajectory of Bettina and the savings accumulated by both over decades must be considered.

Adorni has publicly stated his willingness to cooperate with the judiciary. He has explained that his family's financial situation should be assessed considering his wife's extensive career in the private sector, spanning 23 to 25 years, including approximately fifteen years in managerial positions. He argues that her earnings contributed to the family's available income and savings over decades.

During approximately fifteen years, she held 'managerial positions,' receiving income that formed part of the 'family income' available.
