Argentine Congress Panel Finds Milei Politically Responsible in $LIBRA Case, Urges Misconduct Review

The opposition-led inquiry cites on‑chain evidence with heavy investor losses, preparing criminal referrals.

Overview

  • The 205-page final report concludes that President Javier Milei and his sister, Karina Milei, bear political responsibility for enabling the $LIBRA scheme and recommends that Congress evaluate possible mal desempeño.
  • The report says Milei’s official post shared a non‑public contract number for $LIBRA and asserts the token would not have reached its purchase volume without his promotion.
  • Commission analysts report blockchain fund flows among key actors that align with documented amounts and dates, describing a coordinated effort to monetize Milei’s image and connecting $LIBRA to prior promotions such as KIP Protocol, CoinX and Vulcano.
  • The inquiry quantifies investor harm at 114,410 affected wallets, with 498 losing more than US$100,000 and only 36 gaining over US$1 million each.
  • Lawmakers plan criminal complaints against executive officials and denunciations of the judge and prosecutor for obstructing access, while parallel probes advance with Diego Spagnuolo summoned to indagatoria, the detention of Pablo Atchabahian and a related case active in New York.
