The investigation into Manuel Adorni, Chief of Staff of Argentina, is entering a more delicate and concrete phase. Although the government continues to show as if nothing is happening, the tone in Comodoro Py has already changed: it is no longer just about knowing if Adorni traveled or bought things, but about determining with what funds, under what conditions, and whether all this withstands a serious examination of legality and reasonableness of his assets. The coming week could be decisive in piecing together the puzzle of trips, properties, and money that today involves the official most protected by the power elite. To this is added another line of work: to determine if there was differential or privileged treatment in some of the official's migratory movements, especially in the San Fernando episode and the flight to Punta del Este. The judicial situation of Adorni is still in a preliminary stage, and there is no final conclusion. One of the most sensitive focuses is on a supposed trip to the Caribbean, with suspicions that Aruba could have been the real final destination of an itinerary that, in migration records, appears fragmented as an exit to Peru and a return from Ecuador at the end of 2024 and the beginning of 2025. This detail, which by itself does not prove an illicit maneuver, did fuel doubts about the real consistency of the operation and reinforced the prosecutor's decision to advance with more requests for evidence and a much more meticulous reconstruction of his assets. The judicial magnifying glass is no longer only on the private trip to Punta del Este, but on a broader sequence of movements, real estate operations, and financial flows that seek to answer a central question: if the official's level of expenses and his family circle are compatible with his declared income. The trigger was the flight to Punta del Este during Carnival weekend, an episode that opened the first serious crack in the official's public defense. The prosecutor's office wants to establish if the unofficial trips, the spending standard, and the patrimonial operations under analysis have backing in the income that Adorni declared to the control bodies. From that material, the prosecutor's office now seeks to specify the scales, final destinations, and financing method of several itineraries. The traceability of the money is also being deepened. Therefore, the next package of measures aims precisely to close these documentary gaps. The case is not limited to counting stamps in the passport. In addition, an appraisal will be ordered to determine if the value declared in the deeds is related to the market value of those assets. In the prosecutor's office of Gerardo Pollicita, with the case delegated by Judge Ariel Lijo, there is already an official list of 15 to 19 migratory movements of the Chief of Staff from 2023 to the present, counted between exits and returns, and this Monday new measures of proof will be promoted to fully reconstruct the complete map of those itineraries, their final destinations, and their costs. However, the file has ceased to be a passing political noise to become a case with an accumulation of measures, documentary cross-references, and new derivations. In the case of the Buenos Aires property, the operation was registered for $230,000, but different real estate references maintain that the real value could be much higher. One of the most uncomfortable points of the file remains the financial structure used to buy that property. This Wednesday, April 8, the notary Adriana Mónica Nechevenko must appear as a witness, who intervened in both operations, a detail that the prosecutor's office considers especially relevant because it allows two patrimonial pieces to be joined in the same documentary plot. The problem is that both women, when consulted by the press, denied knowing Adorni. In the records, Beatriz Viegas and Claudia Sbabo appear as mortgage creditors for $200,000, that is, as contributors of 87% of the total value of the operation. The judicial suspicion does not stem from a pre-conviction, but from a basic logic of this type of file: to verify whether there is or is not a correspondence between income, expenses, assets, and lifestyle. In parallel, the file on Adorni's real estate is also adding pressure. Under study are two properties: a house in the Country Indio Cuá Golf Club, in Exaltación de la Cruz, and the department on Miró street, in Caballito. At that point, the investigation also includes the movements of his wife, Bettina Angeletti, on whom other sensitive questions weigh: several trips to Europe made alone, the activity of her consultancy, and the relationship of that firm with contracts linked to the universe of YPF, where the Chief of Staff was appointed director. According to the judicial information that has begun to circulate, the registry sent by the National Directorate of Migration includes official trips and others that do not fit within the public activity. But as the days went by, the file expanded.
