Argentine $LIBRA Panel Appeals Judge’s Ruling as Probe Targets Five Big Transfers

The appeal challenges a court decision that blocked police assistance to compel testimony.

Overview

  • The congressional commission filed an appeal on Monday against Federal Court No. 8’s refusal to authorize police aid to ensure the appearance of officials summoned to testify.
  • Commission chair Maximiliano Ferraro argued the decision undermines Congress’s constitutional authority to demand information under Article 75(32).
  • Lawmakers have issued more than 17 information requests to exchanges and virtual banks, including a request to Bitget for details on 25 movements tied to key dates, while tracking over 100 suspicious transactions.
  • Investigators are focusing on five transfers totaling USDS 3,965,627 from an account linked to Hayden Mark Davis, with the ultimate recipients still unknown.
  • Federal prosecutor Eduardo Taiano ordered forensic review of seized phones for communications between President Javier Milei and $LIBRA promoters, and has confirmed a USDC 695,990 Bitget transfer to a Mauricio Novelli co-owned account on February 3, which Novelli’s lawyer says was unrelated to a February 4 visit to Banco Galicia safety deposit boxes.
