Adorni submits 1900-page report to Congress on assets, travels, and legal cases

In a move that has drawn significant attention, Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni has presented a comprehensive report to the Chamber of Deputies, addressing a range of inquiries concerning his personal and professional life. This extensive document, spanning over 1900 pages, serves as Adorni's formal response to legislative queries regarding his wealth, travel history, and ongoing legal matters.

The report highlights Adorni's strategy to manage the presentation, aiming to limit the scope of certain questions and distinguish his current role from his previous tenure as presidential spokesperson. He also emphasizes that several issues are under judicial investigation, precluding the release of further details.

The assets comprising the wealth of the Chief of Staff's spouse or family group are included in the Reserved Annex of Form 1246 held by the Anti-Corruption Office and contain confidential information in accordance with the current regulatory regime.

A central focus of the report is Adorni's declared assets. Legislators sought clarification on alleged omissions, specifically concerning a property in Exaltación de la Cruz and a residence in Caballito. Adorni's response, as detailed in the report, indicates that his spouse's and family's assets are included in a confidential annex with the Anti-Corruption Office, accessible only by judicial order. This approach sidesteps direct explanations of his total wealth or the funding sources for his acquisitions.

Furthermore, the report addresses Adorni's trip to Punta del Este via private jet during the Carnival weekend of 2026. While Adorni maintains he covered the costs personally, conflicting accounts from the pilot have surfaced. The official response asserts that the state did not fund these personal travels, reinforcing the private nature of such expenses. Adorni also denied any state contracts with businessman Marcelo Grandío, who was reportedly linked to the private jet trip, referring to previous statements without providing additional documentation.

The National State does not register any cost payments for the personal trips of the Chief of Staff, which is why I always report the private and personal nature of their expenses.
