The trip of the Chief of Cabinet, Manuel Adorni, to the Caribbean — specifically to Aruba — is being investigated by the Justice Department, which in recent hours confirmed that he allegedly spent six thousand dollars in cash to travel by plane in first class. According to what the Argentine News Agency was able to find out, everything indicates that the official stayed at a luxury hotel called Hotel Tamarijn Aruba, one of the most exclusive all-inclusive complexes in the region. According to the official page of the establishment, and taking into account the dates when the former radio and TV panelist — now Chief of Cabinet — was there, a double room in December, reserved for several nights for a married couple with two children, costs 1,173 dollars per night without taxes. In this sense, if a stay of at least 13 nights is calculated, the former presidential spokesman would have paid about 15,249 dollars, to which the corresponding hotel taxes would have to be added. The Justice Department confirmed the trip to Aruba. The Justice Department confirmed that the Chief of Cabinet, Manuel Adorni, traveled to Aruba in first class along with his wife and two children, between December 29 and January 10, 2025. The judicial confirmation was made known this Wednesday, where the cost of the tickets, the airline used, the route they took and the accommodation they reserved were reported: according to the investigation by federal prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita, each ticket cost 1,450 dollars, for a total of 5,800 dollars for the family group. On the other hand, it was learned that the trip was made through the LATAM airline and that previous migration records indicated stops in Peru and Ecuador before arriving at the Caribbean island located 25 km north of the coast of Venezuela. To date, the accommodation continues under judicial investigation, as it is being investigated whether Adorni and his family stayed at the Hotel Tamarijn Aruba, an all-inclusive resort with estimated costs close to 1,000 dollars per night per person. This confirmation comes in the context of a case for alleged illicit enrichment, where it is sought to determine if the official's expenses match his declared income. The Justice Department also ordered the lifting of the fiscal and banking secrecy of the libertarian official to trace the origin of the funds used for these vacations.
