Argentina’s economics minister, Felisa Miceli, resigned last week after “after a prosecutor ordered her to testify about $64,000 in cash that was found in a bag in her office bathroom, the government said.”

Miceli claimed that her brother had lent her the money as a down-payment on a house. But, according to Reuters, the prosecutor investigating the case “traced the cash back to a bank he said the money came from, but failed to find any accounts there linked to Miceli or her brother. He also found there was no record of a withdrawal for that amount of money at the bank.” Meanwhile Pravda reports that

Part of the money –100,000 Argentine pesos- was sealed and registered by the Argentine Central Bank. As the Central Bank of Argentina does not have retail customers, it became clear that her brother could not have lent the money to her.
