Argentine TV host Yanina Latorre confirmed the existence of chats with businessman Mauricio Novelli, one of the investigated parties in the $LIBRA cryptocurrency case, and mounted a public defense through a series of stories published on her Instagram account. Latorre stated that Novelli had paid her for advertising in 2023 and 2024, and that all publications were made prior to the cryptocurrency scandal. She emphasized that her business relationship with Novelli was previous to the judicial investigation. In her messages, Latorre claimed that the publications aim to involve her in an unrelated controversy. These chats came to light after being published by journalist Fernanda Iglesias and generated significant political and media repercussions, especially due to mentions of President Javier Milei. The judicial case into the $LIBRA cryptocurrency investigates possible promotional maneuvers for the digital asset and the role of various political and media figures in its dissemination. In the chats, Novelli proposed to Latorre to make promotional posts on social media in exchange for payment. He specifically discussed posting short 'stories' on Instagram and suggested she could earn money quickly by registering on the Binance cryptocurrency platform.
