Judge Rejects Detention of $LIBRA Organizers, Blocks Legislative Commission From Case File

The court invoked Article 204’s secrecy to deny legislative access.

Overview

  • Federal Judge Marcelo Martínez De Giorgi concurred with prosecutor Eduardo Taiano that there is no objective risk of flight or obstruction by Mauricio Novelli and Manuel Terrones Godoy.
  • Existing precautionary measures — asset freezes and a prohibition on innovating — remain in force as sufficient safeguards.
  • The detention bid by querellant Martín Romeo was denied, with the judge noting that dual nationality or foreign passports do not, by themselves, indicate flight risk.
  • The commission chaired by Deputy Maximiliano Ferraro was refused unrestricted access because judicial inquiries are secret to outsiders until trial under Article 204.
  • The probe tied to the 2024 Tech Forum where President Javier Milei participated continues under judicial secrecy, and the court asked the prosecutor to evaluate a narrower document request from lawmakers.
