Argentine Congresswoman Marcela Pagano on Monday requested the arrest of Cabinet Chief Manuel Adorni, accusing him of having pressured contractor Matías Tabar prior to his judicial testimony regarding the renovation works carried out at the home in the Indio Cua gated community. The filing, addressed to federal judge Ariel Lijo, invokes the so-called Irurzun doctrine and comes hours after Tabar testified that he received $245,000 in cash from the Cabinet Chief for the works on the property, in an alleged illicit enrichment case being conducted under federal prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita.
