Tucumán Governor Jaldo Defends US$300,000 Weekend Home Purchase as Legal and Declared

He cites a Banco Macro inflation‑linked mortgage plus long‑time farm income in a province where asset filings are not public.

Overview

  • Jaldo defended the Tafí del Valle purchase on Thursday, calling the deal legal, declared, and backed by a Banco Macro UVA mortgage.
  • He said the loan was paired with earnings from more than 40 years in a registered farm and cattle business that he runs as a sole proprietorship.
  • Reports say Banco Macro, the province’s financial agent, issued a mortgage of ARS 266,250,000 for a US$300,000 purchase deeded on December 13, 2024.
  • The governor said the house appears in his 2024 asset filing and that he reported the transaction to ARCA and the UIF, and outlets have not reported any formal probe.
  • He said the title is in his and his wife’s names, and he emphasized he invests in Tucumán rather than outside the province.
