Legal and transparency investigations in Argentina and Colmb

In Argentina, legal investigations have targeted former Chief of Staff Manuel Adorni regarding alleged illicit enrichment involving Bitcoin transactions between 2014 and 2018. Federal Prosecutor Gerardo Pollicita has requested specialized reports from the Federal Police to verify the ownership and legitimacy of approximately US$591,544 in digital assets.

Simultaneously, in Colombia, former Attorney General Francisco Barbosa Delgado filed a criminal complaint alleging illegal surveillance and unauthorized database searches by state intelligence agencies during the administration of President Gustavo Petro. The complaint seeks the preservation of significant electronic data to protect evidence from intelligence audits.

Further developments in both nations involve allegations of misconduct and lack of transparency. In Colombia, a document attributed to the Autodefensas Conquistadores de la Sierra Nevada (ACSN) allegedly describes an extortion system targeting public beach areas and local businesses. In Argentina, the municipality of Morón has faced accusations of restricting access to official public records and tender documents, with reports suggesting that sensitive annexes are being withheld from journalists.
