Asset declarations in Argentina: who declares and whether it is public

Laws

Who must declare

Persons listed in article 5 of Ley 25.188, including the President and Vice President, national senators and deputies, judges and members of the Ministerio Público, ministers and secretaries of the executive branch, and officials at director level or above in various bodies.1

What is declared

A comprehensive sworn asset declaration (declaración jurada patrimonial integral) covering the assets of the declarant, the spouse, the marital estate, a cohabiting partner and minor children, in Argentina and abroad. It includes real estate, registrable movable property, other movable goods above a set value, investments, bank deposits, debts, and annual income and expenditure. Bank details are filed in a sealed envelope that stays reserved unless a competent authority requires it. The Oficina Anticorrupción also reviews prior ties, shareholdings and company participation for conflicts of interest.1,2

How often

Within 30 business days of taking office, updated annually, and a final declaration within 30 business days of leaving office.1

Public access

Article 10 of Ley 25.188 requires the list of declarations of article 5 officials to be published in the Boletín Oficial within 90 days, and allows any person to request a copy in writing, stating their identity, on whose behalf, the purpose and the intended use, and that they know the prohibited uses. The Oficina Anticorrupción holds the public and reserved declarations of the highest-ranking officials of the national government and publishes them for online consultation. Use for illegal or commercial purposes (other than by news media), credit rating or solicitation of money is prohibited.1,3

Where to find declarations

Oficina Anticorrupción, Declaraciones Juradas de funcionarios (https://www.argentina.gob.ar/declaracionesjuradasdefuncionarios). The OA also publishes lists of officials who have and have not filed.3,4

Who verifies

The Oficina Anticorrupción reviews declarations of national executive branch officials. It cross-checks them against prior declarations and other public databases, assesses whether asset growth is reasonable given declared income, reviews conflicts of interest, and can issue requests for asset clarification. Results may open an OA investigation or serve as technical input to a court.2

Sanctions in law

An official who does not file on time must be formally notified to file within 15 days, and failure to comply with that notice is considered a serious offence (falta grave) giving rise to disciplinary sanction, without prejudice to other sanctions. Illegal use of declarations is punishable by a fine of 500 to 10,000 pesos.1
