In Argentina, the political situation has taken a dramatic turn with the emergence of scandals involving outgoing president Javier Milei and his sister Karina, the Secretary of the Presidency. It all started with corruption accusations and the scandal related to a cryptocurrency scam. To try to clean up their image, the Milei siblings traveled to the United States to participate in the Conservative Action Conference.
Amid tensions between ministers and special advisor Santiago Caputo, Javier Milei appeared publicly without apologizing for the embezzlement. In fact, he compared the scam to gambling in a casino and defended his model of 'society under the scheme of online betting.' Despite the controversy, Milei continued his campaign in Argentina, and his negative image keeps rising.
The cryptocurrency scam scandal has led Judge María Servini to delegate the investigation to prosecutor Eduardo Taiano, who sees sufficient elements to initiate a process that directly targets President Javier Milei. Moreover, the crisis in the Argentine government is evident, prompting the president to seek relief outside the country, working in Washington under the orders of Guillermo Francos.
The mega-scam of the cryptocurrency $LIBRA has shaken confidence in Milei's government and generated significant social unrest. Experts indicate that it was a planned scam to attract naive investors and flee with the money. Meanwhile, the President has met with prominent international figures like Elon Musk and speaks at events like CPAC.
The investigation has revealed the involvement of various entrepreneurs behind $Libra, generating even more tensions in the political landscape. Argentine justice is progressing in the case, investigating possible crimes such as abuse of authority, fraud, and bribery, implicating several individuals linked to the government. Despite attempts to divert attention and downplay the facts, the scandal continues to grow on a national and international level.
