Former Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni has filed a lengthy 78-page submission in response to 20 questions posed by prosecutors investigating allegations of illicit enrichment. Central to his defense is the claim that the funds in question, primarily in U.S. dollars, did not come from illicit sources, but rather from Bitcoin that he acquired prior to his public service, and from the liquidation of eight Bitcoin accounts.
Adorni asserts that most of the funds originated from savings accumulated during his private professional activities, and that the eight wallets used between 2014 and 2018 had no remaining balance. He further maintains that the money used to purchase Bitcoin came from personal professional activities, and that the sales were conducted in cash.
The defense also challenges the cost of remodeling Adorni's home in the Indio Cuá gated community, arguing that the total was inflated. They maintain that the actual amount paid to contractor Matías Tabar was US$175,000, not the US$245,000 claimed, citing discrepancies in documentation. The defense also points out inconsistencies in Tabar's spreadsheets and invoices.
