Prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita is investigating alleged illicit enrichment by Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni and has summoned the contractor responsible for renovations at Adorni’s home in Indio Cuá Golf Club, Exaltación de la Cruz, to testify on April 24.
The investigation focuses on property improvements made after the acquisition of the house by Bettina Julieta Angeletti, Adorni’s wife, who purchased it in November 2024. The prosecutor has requested that Matías Tabar of Grupo AA provide all documentation related to budgets, contracts, invoices, payment receipts, and communications with either Adorni or Angeletti. Tabar must also present evidence for all payments received for the work—including details about bank accounts or other financial instruments used.
Pollicita has also asked the country club administration for detailed information about maintenance fees and entry charges paid by Angeletti. This request follows a previous inquiry that went unanswered. In addition to these measures, federal judge Ariel Lijo recently ordered the lifting of banking and tax secrecy for Adorni, his wife, and a family-linked company in order to review their financial activity from 2022 through 2025.
Several other witnesses have been called as part of efforts to trace real estate transactions involving Adorni. These include sellers Claudia Sbabo and Beatriz Viegas; Viegas’s son Pablo Martín Feijoo; and seller Juan Consentino—all connected with a recent apartment purchase in Caballito completed under an interest-free private financing arrangement. Witnesses are required to provide digital records such as chats or emails relevant to these transactions.
The core issue being examined is the structure of this agreement: both sellers acted not only as owners but also as creditors on a $200,000 mortgage without interest—an arrangement that would return ownership if payments are missed within one year. Notary Adriana Mónica Nechevenko confirmed during her testimony that “there were no cash loans” involved and described it as “a normal transaction.”
The case began after lawmaker Marcela Pagano filed a complaint citing possible inconsistencies in Adorni’s asset declarations—including an alleged 500% increase in his assets over one fiscal period.
