The Coordinating Ministry defended itself by stating that the ticket listed 'Cabinet Head' and not Angeletti's name because 'he paid for his own ticket'. A photo confirmed that she was part of the presidential entourage despite not holding a public office. From there, the official made some unforced errors. 'It's private data, we have no reason to show it,' they stated. After that, it was reported that Adorni traveled with his family, round trip, on a private flight to Punta del Este with his friend Marcelo Grandio, who has contracts with state television. In fact, he continued to communicate on the actions of the libertarian administration. 'He remains the voice of the government,' they say in the Casa Rosada. The first was to point out that Angeletti's presence on the presidential ARG-01 aircraft was due to a decision by President Javier Milei. The tickets, according to the former presidential spokesman, were paid out of his own pocket, although it is a fact that the Justice system is trying to clarify. In this regard, the judicial cases against him have multiplied. Buenos Aires, April 10 (NA) – Starting on March 11, with the publication of a photo of his wife in the United States, Manuel Adorni entered a spiral from which he still cannot escape and which has now lasted a month. The Head of Cabinet, with the government's backing, tried by all means to find a way out of the labyrinth but has not yet found the exit. The trigger for his ordeal was the publication of a photo of Bettina Angeletti, his wife, during the official tour of the Argentina Week in New York and Miami. Both Javier and Karina Milei continue to support him, and the rest of the ministers operate under that plan. The investigations cover the purchase of high-value properties and suspicious trips. In the last 48 hours, Federal Judge Ariel Lijo — at the request of Prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita — took a drastic measure in the case investigating an alleged illicit enrichment, by lifting tax and banking secrecy. 'I came to work my tail off for a week and I wanted my wife to accompany me,' he stated in an interview, unleashing a wave of criticism for the use of public resources for personal purposes. After the scandal over the outbound flight, attention turned to the return. They are mainly focused on alleged illicit enrichment and handling of public funds. Justice now has access to all of Adorni's and his wife's financial movements from January 2022 to the present. Not only the trip is being investigated, but also the purchase of an apartment in Caballito that the official would have registered for a value lower than the market price, in addition to other assets that would not coincide with his declared income before holding public office. IP In parallel, the government tried to make his name synonymous with management and good news, far from the judicial focus. Although the official assured that the return tickets had been paid out of his own pocket, this week records emerged that complicate his version. That is, he exposed the head of state when, with the position he holds, he should be the fuse. In that first defense, in addition to stating that he did not generate extra expenses, he launched a phrase that he later qualified as unfortunate.
