Argentine President Javier Milei's cabinet chief, Manuel Adorni, resigned on Saturday following a scandal that led to investigations into his spending in recent years.
Adorni, who was appointed cabinet chief in November last year, is a close confidant of Milei, who initially named him as his spokesperson shortly after taking office in late 2023.
Adorni has been accused of illicit enrichment due to expenses that do not appear to match his income.
He has received criticism for a number of personal trips he has taken with his family, including a first-class holiday to Aruba over the Christmas period, and a private jet flight to Uruguay during Carnival season.
Adorni has said that he built his wealth before entering government and that all trips he has taken with his family were paid for with private funds.
