According to reports, La Libertad Avanza figure Patricia Bullrich again questioned Adorni —she spoke of an “ethical omission”

The admission by Argentine Cabinet Chief Manuel Adorni that he kept undeclared savings deepened divisions within Javier Milei's government and accelerated an opposition attempt to remove him through a censure motion. Despite the controversy, Adorni remains at the head of the cabinet.

In a television interview aired on Wednesday night, Adorni acknowledged that he had $506,000 “off the books,” of which some $300,000 reportedly came from cryptocurrency operations carried out between 2013 and 2018 that he had not declared. The documentation was filed the following day with the Anti-Corruption Office. The admission contrasted with what the official had maintained at press conferences and before Congress, where he had asserted that his sworn declaration was “impeccable.”
