The judicial case surrounding the $LIBRA scandal has recently acquired a politically sensitive element: the analysis of Mauricio Novelli's phone, identified as one of the main orchestrators of the token's launch, revealed an intense sequence of communications with President Javier Milei, the Chief of Staff of the Presidency Karina Milei, and influential advisor Santiago Caputo during the critical hours when the cryptocurrency was promoted, its price soared, and then plummeted. This detail is not minor. The back-and-forth communication was not limited to the period prior to the launch; it also continued after the price had already collapsed and social networks began to openly speak of a rug pull maneuver. Reports emerging from the file agree on a central point: Novelli maintained at least eight communications with Javier Milei that day and seven with Karina Milei, in addition to several subsequent contacts with Santiago Caputo, whose intervention occurs in the crisis phase, when the operation began to transform into a political scandal. What emerges from Novelli's phone is a plot of urgency, nerves, and anger between Buenos Aires, Dallas, and Asia. In parallel, the businessman with whom he spoke the most was Julian Peh, with 41 calls. Moreover, if the official intervention was minimal, why did the main nexus of the operation maintain that level of communication with the so-called 'iron triangle' of power when the crisis was already declared? The role of Julian Peh also proves to be key. Above all, it is the image of a scandal that becomes increasingly difficult to present as a casual episode or foreign to the very heart of the Government. But over the months, public contradictions emerged: KIP Protocol denied that the project 'Viva la Libertad' or the launch of tokens had been specifically discussed in that meeting, and later stated that it had not directed or managed the market launch of $LIBRA. The new evidence deepens an uncomfortable question for the Government: if the President assured that he was not familiar with the details of the project, how can the frequency of contacts with Novelli, precisely before and after the launch, be explained? Here, on the contrary, each new section of the file seems to open more questions than answers. That official statement tried to present the link as a conversation about investments, blockchain, and artificial intelligence. Different reconstructions indicate that, once the collapse was unleashed, Novelli contacted him to disseminate a disclaimer text that would distance Milei from the project. According to the expert report incorporated into the file, carried out by the General Directorate of Investigations and Technological Support for Research (DATIP), Novelli's phone registered 206 calls in 72 hours of extreme tension.
