BUENOS AIRES, May 6 (UPI) -- Argentine authorities are investigating Manuel Adorni, Cabinet chief and one of President Javier Milei's closest officials, over allegations of illicit enrichment, misuse of public funds, bribery and influence peddling.
The investigation gained new momentum Tuesday after court documents revealed alleged cash payments totaling about $245,000 for renovations to Adorni's home, according to the judicial case file.
Adorni holds one of the most influential positions in Argentina's executive branch, overseeing coordination among ministries and relations with Congress.
The case centers on a series of events involving foreign travel, real estate transactions and financial movements that investigators are reviewing collectively to determine whether the official's spending patterns matches his declared income.
