Adorni Defends Wife’s Invite on Presidential Jet, Says It Won’t Happen Again

The chief of cabinet apologized for his “deslomarse” phrasing, while administrative and criminal inquiries into his trips continue.

Overview

  • Adorni told Forbes that Bettina Angeletti flew to New York as an invited guest of the Presidency and generated no cost to the state.
  • He said he would act differently now and does not expect his wife to accompany him on future official travel.
  • Opposition lawmakers filed information requests, at least three criminal complaints were lodged, and the Procuraduría de Investigaciones Administrativas opened a preliminary file.
  • On a separate private jet trip to Punta del Este, Adorni said he paid a proportional share after an invitation from longtime friend Marcelo Grandio, whose comments later caused confusion about payment sources.
  • He alleged the Uruguay flight video was held for a month as a political operation, and he cited support from President Javier Milei and senior officials as investigations proceed.
