\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t Two retirees will testify on Wednesday in a case investigating Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni for alleged illicit enrichment. The pensioners are just two of the four women who lent him large sums of money to buy properties in loans overseen by a notary.<\/p>\n
Adorni has been under scrutiny since last month after news broke about properties and expensive trips he took in the past two years, since becoming a public official in Javier Milei\u2019s government. The expenses allegedly don\u2019t match his declared estate or income.<\/p>\n
The investigation is focused on finding if Adorni\u2019s assets increased without justification since he became part of the national government in December 2023 \u2014 first as Milei\u2019s spokesperson and, since late 2025, as chief of staff \u2014 and if he could afford the trips and new properties on his current income.<\/p>\n
Some of those assets include an apartment in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Caballito he bought in November 2025 for US$230,000, where he is currently living. The previous owners of that apartment were the two pensioners, who received US$30,000 and agreed that Adorni would pay the remaining US$200,000 within a year.<\/p>\n
Adorni is set to pay the loan in installments with no interest rate. The deal was signed in a contract overseen by notary Adriana Nechevenko, who testified last week and spoke to the press about the details of the operation.<\/p>\n
Nechevenko said in an interview with Infobae that the operation was done in this manner because Adorni is \u201can acquaintance or friend\u201d of the son of one of the two women, as their children go to the same school \u201cor something like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s logical that there are no interests,\u201d Nechevenko said. The man is scheduled to testify next week.<\/p>\n
The notary said that it was the women\u2019s idea to only receive part of the money upfront and receive the rest of the money within a year.<\/p>\n
Asked about where Adorni got the funds to buy the apartment, Nechevenko said that \u201cit was not mandatory for him to give explanations\u201d to her about it. \u201cIf he declares it has a legal origin, it\u2019s enough,\u201d she said. However, she said that the US$200,000 will come from the sale of another apartment in Buenos Aires where he used to live.<\/p>\n
The other loan Last week, two other women \u2014 mother and daughter \u2014 testified that they loaned Adorni US$100,000 in November 2024 with an interest rate of 11%. In this case the money was given to him in full and in cash.<\/p>\n
The then Presidential Spokesperson used the loan to buy another home in a gated community in Exaltaci\u00f3n de la Cruz, around 80 kilometers away from his Caballito apartment. He paid US$120,000 for the house.<\/p>\n
The same day he received the loan, he mortgaged his old apartment to pay for the new one in Caballito, Nechevenko said.<\/p>\n
The two women \u2014 the mother is a retired police officer, and her daughter is currently in the force \u2014 met Adorni the same day they signed the loan agreement. Nechevenko was the one who introduced them, and said she didn\u2019t charge them for the operation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have clients, and I brought them together. I know Adorni will pay them,\u201d the notary stated.<\/p>\n
The women testified that they got the US$100,000 through an inheritance and labor trials they won and said it was the first time they took part in this type of operation.<\/p>\n
They also said that Adorni has paid them US$30,000 upfront and that he still owes them US$70,000, due next November.<\/p>\n
Nechevenko said she has known Adorni for at least 15 years, but had never done any real estate business with him before. \u201cIt happened all at once,\u201d she said in the interview with Infobae.<\/p>\n
The notary added that Adorni decided to leave his old apartment in the Parque Chacabuco neighborhood and buy the one in Caballito due to \u201csecurity reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
