Overview
- The judge's October 23 decision removed eleven people from the $LIBRA investigation, including President Javier Milei, after prosecutor Eduardo Taiano asked for sobreseimientos.
- On October 29–30 the Procuraduría de Investigaciones Administrativas (PIA), led by fiscal Sergio Rodríguez, formally assumed the criminal action and filed an appeal to annul those sobreseimientos.
- The PIA argues the probe is incomplete and lists unperformed measures such as blockchain tracing, forensic examination of cellphones, reconstruction of fund flows and requests for international cooperation.
- Two NGOs (INECIP and CIPCE) and investors who were stripped of querellante status have separately alleged procedural flaws—missing victim‑notification and leaks—and have asked higher courts to annul the dismissals or reinstate complainants.
- The Juzgado Federal N°8, currently under interim judge Daniel Rafecas, must now decide whether to reopen the case or let a subsidiary appeal send the dispute to the Cámara Federal, a process that could extend evidence-gathering and heighten political scrutiny given the president's involvement.
