Former members of ruling party La Libertad Avanza (LLA) are going through difficult times as the judiciary is advancing several corruption investigations against them, including cases of illicit enrichment and alleged ties to drug trafficking.
While a judicial ruling in the $LIBRA case, which involves President Javier Milei, favored a suspect who has ties with the government, the same cannot be said regarding corruption cases involving former chief of staff Manuel Adorni, as well as two ex-lawmakers and the former head of state-owned satellite company ARSAT.

On Friday, Judge Ariel Lijo ruled that Adorni cannot leave the country without notifying the judiciary first, which may in turn approve or reject the request. His wife Bettina Angeletti, who is also under investigation, will have to comply with this decision too.
While the ruling did not state there was a flight risk, this was the first restrictive measure against Adorni since the investigation on his assets began in March.
