Grabois to File Criminal Complaint Accusing Milei of Misusing $1 Million Genesis Prize

Grabois plans a criminal complaint after an official reply reported no Treasury record of the award money.

Overview

  • The opposition leader says the government's response to his information request reported no entry of the funds in the National Treasury.
  • He argues Argentine law requires such prize money received by a president to be registered as national patrimony.
  • Milei has said the award was donated to foundations to support initiatives against terrorism and antisemitism.
  • Grabois alleges the money went to a “fake” U.S. foundation and also implicates Karina Milei in the complaint.
  • Milei received the Genesis Prize in June; Grabois says he will file the case this week, and no court determination has been reported during the election campaign.
