Overview
- This weekend reporting of central bank and bank records showed Manuel Adorni and his wife Bettina Angeletti charged more than 85.1 million pesos on credit cards in 2025 and about 176 million pesos from December 2023 through March 2026.
- Bank records indicate most card bills were paid by automatic peso debits from Banco Galicia accounts that carried a 'Situación 1, Normal' status, meaning no recorded delinquencies or missed payments.
- The active judicial probe is focused on the origin of the liquid funds that sustained the couple’s outlays rather than on card repayment, and investigators are cross‑checking banking, fiscal and patrimonial data in the case file.
- Court estimates incorporated into the file put total documented outlays since Adorni joined government above US$400,000, including large cash payments to a contractor, real‑estate transactions and travel, and show Angeletti’s card spending rose sharply in 2025 while she changed tax status to autonomous in October 2025.
- The inquiry raises political and transparency questions for the Milei administration as investigators reconstruct payments made by cards, cash and private commitments and assess whether the couple’s patrimonial growth aligns with declared salaries.
