BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) - President Mauricio Macri said on Wednesday he would issue decrees in the coming days aimed at cracking down on conflicts of interest in Argentina's politics, as prosecutors pushed to investigate more of his family's business ties. "I want everything to be transparent and open, and for nobody to doubt the decisions this president makes," said Macri, son of one of Argentina's richest men, businessman Franco Macri. Macri said at the time the deal had been handled legally, but apologised for a lack of transparency and revoked the agreement. In January, prosecutors announced they were investigating whether Macri's spy chief Gustavo Arribas received a bribe from Odebrecht SA [ODBES.UL], a charge Arribas has denied. Iecsa could not immediately be reached for comment but Argentine media reported that the company said it was unaware of irregularities.
