Argentina’s President Javier Milei announced on Sunday the appointment of Interior Minister Diego Santilli as the new chief of cabinet. Santilli replaces Manuel Adorni, who resigned from the position following corruption allegations, and will take on his new role on Tuesday.
Background
Santilli, an accountant who comes from the center-right PRO party founded by former president Mauricio Macri, previously served as deputy chief of the City of Buenos Aires, congressman, senator, and security minister of the City of Buenos Aires.
Adorni, the outgoing chief of cabinet, who submitted his resignation on Saturday, is under investigation for alleged illicit enrichment, among other offenses. He has faced criticism for a number of personal trips he has taken with his family, including a first-class holiday to the Caribbean island of Aruba over the Christmas period, and a private jet flight to Uruguay during Carnival season.
