Trips, properties, and cash payments: Suspicions of corruption plague Mileiโs chief of staff
Corruption cases continue to plague Javier Mileiโs government. Cabinet Chief Manuel Adorni reappeared before the local press on Monday and denied illicit enrichment, but just minutes after his statement, new developments emerged in the legal case investigating him: a supplier testified that Adorni paid him $245,000 in cash without an invoice for lavish renovations on one of the properties he has acquired since becoming a public official. Meanwhile, a new scandal has reached the courts regarding millions of dollars in irregular expenses detected at Nucleoelรฉctrica Argentina, the company that operates Argentinaโs nuclear power plants. These expenditures include payments for five-star hotels, beach services, hair salons, bars, duty-free shops, and cash withdrawals.
