Milei at the center of a scam scandal

The head of the provincial government of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, stated that President Javier Milei committed "an offense," advertising "multimillion-dollar fraud" on his social networks, and must "answer to the judiciary." "Milei must explain before the country and the court who these fraudsters are and who benefited from this scheme," he added. "The former candidate has already committed something similar, and the fraudsters are sitting in jail, but this time Milei is exploiting his status as president to conduct a scheme," Kicillof said.

"Yesterday, Javier Milei was a promoter and part of a multimillion-dollar scam, on X (exTwitter) and in plain sight of everyone. Those who enriched themselves in millions of dollars acted in combination with him, although he later said he was deceived. It must be clear whether he and his environment are among the fraudsters," Kicillof emphasized. "The president of Argentina has become part of the global scam. This is a scandal and a disgrace. But first of all - this is an offense."

The controversy erupted during a poll, exposed last night in connection with the ad made by Milei for the $LIBRA company, the governor harshly reacted, considering that "this has never happened before." His message was sealed for 3 hours in the profile and was retweeted by Martín Menem, experts, and all libertarians on Twitter," Kicillof commented.

"This has no precedent. This is a typical pyramid scheme with cryptocurrencies, and there are people from various countries who were scammed," he added. "This is very serious."
