Opposition $LIBRA Probe Set to Name Javier and Karina Milei Politically Responsible

The opposition panel will unveil a political report that traces funds to intermediaries to prompt judicial review.

Overview

  • Lawmakers plan to present the final report on Tuesday at 4 p.m. in Sala 1, Annex A of the Chamber of Deputies.
  • The document assigns political responsibility to President Javier Milei and his sister Karina for the $LIBRA episode and will be referred to the courts, citing the February post that preceded a surge and a collapse after roughly US$90 million was withdrawn.
  • Investigators outline an alleged money trail that includes a Binance‑confirmed wallet linked to lobbyist Mauricio Novelli receiving about US$300,000 in November 2024 and US$250,000 in January 2025, alongside transfers involving Hayden Davis and Manuel Terrones Godoy tied to key dates.
  • The report sharply criticizes Judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi and Prosecutor Eduardo Taiano for restricting access to evidence and delaying documents requested by Congress.
  • Most executive officials refused to appear before the commission; only then–chief of staff Guillermo Francos testified and denied any state coordination, while government allies argue the episode involved private actors and a memecoin.
