New audios from Manuel Adorni to Matías Tabar, the contractor who implicated him in court, were added to the case for illicit enrichment. In one of them, the former Chief of Staff assures him that «there is no record of anything» and that he will receive a call from an unregistered phone number. In parallel, an official stated that she lent her credit card for a purchase that she later returned in cash. The pattern begins to repeat itself too many times for it to be a coincidence.
Manuel Adorni is no longer Chief of Staff, but the case investigating him for alleged illicit enrichment continued to add elements. In the last few hours, new audios and screenshots of WhatsApp conversations between the former official and Matías Tabar, the contractor who was in charge of the renovations to his house in the Indio Cuá country and who declared in court that he had charged $245,000 in cash for those jobs, have circulated on networks.
According to what circulated on networks and was taken up by different accounts that follow the case, in one of the audios Adorni tells Tabar that he has to talk to him about the issue of his summons to testify, dated May 4. Tabar does not answer him. Adorni later insists, and in a section that generated greater repercussions, he assures him to act «as I do» because in this way «there is no record of anything», and that in any case he is going to call him «from an unregistered telephone number» so that he can rest assured. The phrase, if its authenticity and context in the case are confirmed, adds a more serious element than that of purchases with other people’s cards: the possible intention of instructing a witness on how to avoid leaving traces before testifying in court.
The WhatsApp screenshots that circulated along with the audios also show a subsequent exchange, already in a more colloquial tone, where Adorni writes to Tabar asking him not to forget about him («Good morning, don’t forget me haha») and the contractor responds with monosyllables.
These new materials are known on the same day that another section of audio emerged, also addressed to Tabar, in which Adorni invites him to meet to talk «about the issue of May 4», the day the contractor testified, and assured him that he was going to give him «all the support» he needed before his statement. The combination of both episodes reinforces the investigators’ hypothesis: that Adorni tried, on more than one occasion, to condition the testimony of the contractor who would end up being the most compromising for his judicial situation.
Along with this front, the cause is also advancing on the side of purchases with other people’s cards. Laura Schiuma, an official of the Presidential Spokesperson, stated that she lent her credit card so that Adorni could buy a gaming monitor worth more than two million pesos and that he later returned the money to her in cash. A similar pattern was repeated, according to Justice, with another subordinate and with a third official who paid in cash more than eight million pesos in box springs and linen for the same house in Indio Cuá.
The picture that is beginning to emerge combines two different but potentially complementary types of irregularities: on the one hand, the use of third parties to hide own expenses; on the other hand, attempts to influence what those same third parties were going to declare before the Court. If both lines are confirmed judicially, Adorni’s file would cease to be just a discussion about the origin of his assets and would become a case with possible implications for hindering the investigation.
The Government, meanwhile, maintains the version that the resignation was Adorni’s personal decision and that Milei continues to trust in his innocence. This narrative coexists, with increasing difficulty, with a file that grows daily in Comodoro Py.
