Lijo Removes Servini From $LIBRA Case, Sends Probe to Judge Martínez de Giorgi

The transfer aims to consolidate overlapping evidence and defendants under a court that already handles a related file naming Karina Milei.

Overview

  • Acting in substitution, Judge Ariel Lijo declared María Servini incompetent for the $LIBRA investigation and remitted the case to Judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi based on a shared body of evidence and suspects.
  • Martínez de Giorgi must decide whether to accept the remitted docket for consolidation, and if he declines the Federal Chamber will determine which court continues the probe; federal prosecutor Eduardo Taiano remains in charge of the investigation.
  • The Chamber of Deputies’ commission sent roughly twenty certified requests to exchanges and wallet providers with five business days to reply, and it summoned the Secretary General of the Presidency to testify before October 26 with dates proposed for late September.
  • Investigators are reviewing transfers linked to creator Hayden Mark Davis, including a $500,000 move to Kraken during a January 30 Casa Rosada meeting and later routing of over $3.4 million, alongside alleged withdrawals of about $100 million during the token’s collapse.
  • Plaintiffs in a U.S. class action asked a New York court to restore a preventive freeze on roughly $110–111 million in digital assets held across five wallets allegedly tied to $LIBRA after an earlier freeze was lifted.
