Federal Chamber Puts Martínez de Giorgi in Charge of Consolidated $LIBRA Case as Congress Seeks to Compel Testimony

A judge’s rejection of Florencia Zicavo’s injunction sets up a request for police assistance to secure her testimony.

Overview

  • Cámara Federal president Mariano Llorens unified the $LIBRA probe with a related Andis pay‑to‑play case under Judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi, with prosecutor Eduardo Taiano overseeing both.
  • President Javier Milei remains imputed in the $LIBRA investigation for having promoted the token on social media.
  • The congressional commission will ask a federal judge to authorize use of the force pública to compel appearances by Florencia Zicavo and Anticorruption Office chief Alejandro Melik after noncompliance.
  • Karina Milei, CNV president Roberto Silva and UIF head Paulo Starc were re‑summoned for September 30 after failing to attend earlier hearings, with potential enforcement if they do not appear.
  • After Taiano denied lawmakers direct access to the judicial file, deputies sought a meeting with Procurador General Eduardo Casal, while also summoning private actors including Hayden Mark Davis, Julian Peh, Mauricio Novelli, Manuel Terrones Godoy and Sergio Morales.
