The Government made statements about a private plane coming from Miami that arrived at Aeroparque on February 25 with Laura Belén Arrieta as a passenger, who allegedly disembarked from the aircraft with uninspected luggage. Presidential spokesman, Manuel Adorni, reported that Customs and Airport Security Police conducted the appropriate checks on the plane, which was in transit until March 5 and continued its flight to France.
In a press conference, Adorni responded to unfounded allegations regarding the supposed entry of suitcases filled with money and possible links to the Government, referring to Arrieta as a citizen without any government connection. Businessman Leonardo Scatturice, founder of OCP Tech and COC Global Enterprise, is Arrieta's boss.
The spokesman emphasized that Arrieta passed through customs without issues, following the established protocols, and highlighted the seriousness of the procedures in the United States. When asked about the connection between Arrieta and Milei, Adorni denied any government relationship and assured that the plane complied with procedures before continuing its journey to Spain and France.
Despite the clarifications, the Civic Coalition (CC) plans to request public information about the private plane and its arrival in Argentina. Adorni expressed concern about the persecution against Arrieta and rejected the unfounded accusations, calling the spread of baseless lies unpleasant. Amid the controversy, the case of the cryptocurrency $LIBRA and the alleged involvement of President Javier Milei was mentioned, a topic that received terse responses from the presidential spokesman.
