Government Confirms Security for Adorni Amid Enrichment Probe

The Argentine government has confirmed it will continue to provide security detail for Manuel Adorni, the former presidential spokesperson, citing safety reasons. This decision comes as Adorni faces an investigation into alleged illicit enrichment.

“

For now, it is maintained.

Adrián Ravier, the current presidential spokesperson, stated that Adorni's security detail "is maintained for now." When questioned about potential internal audits within Casa Rosada following Adorni's resignation, Ravier emphasized that such matters fall under the purview of the judiciary. He clarified that the government does not operate an internal mechanism separate from the judicial process, which will conduct interrogations and investigations.

Sources indicate that Adorni's continued security is due to alleged threats, though these have not been judicially confirmed. One official noted that Adorni "cannot go out on the street for a good while" due to potential public hostility, including insults and threats. This sentiment was echoed by individuals who have spoken with Adorni since the scandal emerged nearly four months ago, detailing his alleged wealth accumulation.

“

These people have to declare in court. We do not have an internal mechanism within Casa Rosada separate from what the Justice system is carrying out.

Since stepping down and attending the swearing-in of his successor, Diego Santilli, Adorni has maintained a very low public profile. He was last seen leaving Casa Rosada in an official vehicle, traveling to his apartment in Caballito. Officials anticipate that Adorni will spend most of his time at his property in Indio Cua, located in Exaltación de la Cruz, which has undergone significant renovations. The property was purchased in 2024 and is registered under his wife's name, Bettina Angeletti. The criminal investigation is being handled by Judge Ariel Lijo and Prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita.

The reality is that Manuel cannot go out on the street for a good while. There are many people willing to insult him.
