Know that means abudine? Definition clarified by the RAE made it clear that the verb is well formed in Spanish and could be accepted by the institution in the future.
Karen Abudinen, Minister of Information Technology and Communications of Colombia since May 2020, is involved in a scandal for the alleged loss of 70,000 million of weights.

Does the verb ABUDINAR exist and if so, what does it mean and in what context can it be used?
It is a verb that is being used in Colombia as ABUDINAR or ABUDINEAR.

User @ yeto03 asked the RAE
Through a response to the previous trill, the RAE clarified that they are documenting both expressions in social network texts as recently created verbs, used in the popular speech of Colombia with the meaning of ‘steal and swindle’.
But that was not the only concern of Internet users.
In the case «they had abused the national budget of Colombia», 3rd person plural of past perfect and indicative of the recent verb «Abudinar» Is it possible to use its transitive form…?
Thank you
The user @ferreir_andres also asked
Likewise, the RAE said that these expressions have a humorous and derogatory intention, created from the surname of a Colombian politician and that these two expressions are possible verbal derivatives in terms of form, that is, they are well formed.
