On the 14th of this month, the president promoted the cryptocurrency $Libra on social media X and Instagram, which led to the rise in the value of the tokens (digital assets), which later collapsed and caused significant losses to those who entered the operations, and millionaire profits in dollars for a few. Later, the head of state deleted the messages and said it was an alleged private venture, with which he had no ties.
After what happened, political, union and social organizations questioned the actions of the head of state, accused in this country and the United States.
This day, Dalbon reported that, with the help of specialists, he was able to locate the public addresses of the wallets that control the $Libra funds, which are labeled as Milei, Milei Cata and VladMilei, and requested the intervention of the Specialized Fiscal Unit on Cybercrime. The lawyer indicated that he sent all this information to federal prosecutor Eduardo Taiano, to whom Judge María Servini delegated the case.
The day before, Taiano charged Milei with acts that “could fall under the figures of abuse of authority, fraud, influence peddling and bribery,” and ordered the first measures of proof.
The criminal case was formally opened with requests for reports to organizations and companies such as the Central Bank, the National Securities Commission (CNV), the General Inspection of Justice and Google.
According to the newspaper Página 12, among the people under scrutiny are businessmen Hayden Mark Davis and Julian Peh, who created and launched the cryptocurrency; Mauricio Novelli and Manuel Terrones, who were his links with the government, and Sergio Daniel Morales, advisor to the board of directors of the CNV.
