Editorial finding

Herrera–Velutini wealth assessment

Assessment was explicitly inexact and independently uncorroborated. The headline amount is contextual and must not be interpreted as liquid personal wealth. Corporate capital, client money and assets managed for others are excluded unless independent evidence establishes beneficial ownership.

Source limitations
