Prosecutor Eduardo Taiano, in charge of the investigation of Criptogate for the dissemination of the cryptocurrency $LIBRA, is preparing new measures to clarify alleged crimes of fraud, bribery, and influence peddling.
Among the actions that Taiano plans to carry out are the collection of key digital evidence, the identification of assets, tracking of suspicious transactions, and requests for international cooperation. The goal is to access information from exchanges and foreign financial entities that may have participated in the operation.
The prosecutor is focused on preserving digital evidence by requesting detailed records of all transactions related to $LIBRA to identify the beneficiaries of profits. He has also ordered the recovery of deleted posts from social media, including a tweet from President Javier Milei promoting the cryptocurrency.
In addition, Taiano has ordered the freezing of digital addresses to prevent the dispersion of funds and the mobilization of assets obtained fraudulently. This would make it difficult to trace them if they were transferred to other platforms.
The prosecutor is working on drafting international requests to access information about transactions made through foreign cryptocurrency exchange platforms. He has also initiated talks with international organizations and regulatory entities to obtain records of financial movements.
Taiano has requested records of individuals who visited the Casa Rosada and the Quinta de Olivos, reports on telephone communications, and the preparation of a list of relevant witnesses to gather information about $LIBRA.
Finally, the prosecutor is analyzing the applicable legal framework for cryptocurrencies in Argentina to verify possible irregularities in the regulation and supervision of $LIBRA, as well as in the actions of the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic and the National Securities Commission regarding its commercialization.
