On the international stage, victims are promoting collective actions in the United States, while in Argentina, the case continues to be debated over whether the presidential post was a 'personal' act or an event with institutional effects, given its economic and political consequences. In this context, the complainant insists that the central issue is no longer the public controversy but the need for verifiable judicial decisions: determining responsibilities, summonses, investigations, and measures regarding assets and fund flows to prevent the case from diluting into the political calendar. In parallel, the opposition pushed for an investigative commission in the Chamber of Deputies, chaired by Maximiliano Ferraro, which gathered information on the alleged participation of the presidential circle and handed over material to the Justice system upon completion of its mandate. The persistence of the noise, the complainants argue, ultimately operates as an umbrella of impunity. In parallel, and as a signal that the courts will not condone delaying maneuvers in high-voltage political cases, another resonant resolution saw the Federal Chamber of Criminal Cassation ratify that former President Cristina Kirchner must continue to wear the electronic ankle monitor and abide by the restrictions of house arrest. Havana - February 10, 2025 - Total News Agency - TNAA. On the first anniversary of the $Libra case, the judicial file that implicates President Javier Milei is once again under scrutiny due to the most corrosive combination for any investigation: high political impact, thousands of victims, and a procedural pace that, for the complainant, remains far below what is reasonable. In recent hours, Martín Romeo, a complainant, prosecutor, and one of the affected parties, hardened his public accusation by stating that Milei 'lies systematically' when trying to distance himself from the episode, and demanded that the instruction advance towards concrete decisions. According to Romeo, after the judicial recess, the Federal Chamber urged to expedite the case's proceedings and to give greater celerity to the work of Judge Ariel Lijo of the Public Ministry. Chamber IV, by majority, rejected the defense's motion to remove the device and relax conditions, despite procedural filings and antics, considering that technical supervision remains necessary to ensure the effective fulfillment of the sentence. Hours later, the price plummeted with a sharp drop, a pattern characteristic of maneuvers known in the crypto world as 'rug pull,' when dominant actors sell at the peak and leave retail investors trapped on the way down. From that episode, criminal complaints were formalized and the investigation fell under the orbit of federal justice, focusing on determining Milei's responsibilities and those of the network of actors surrounding the launch. In this framework, he stated that the evidence-gathering phase has been prolonged 'more than necessary' and the lack of definitions fuels the suspicion of an unjustified paralysis. The core of the accusation is based on the money trail and the temporal sequence of the launch. Romeo assured that the complainant has managed to reconstruct the traceability of the funds linked to the operation, from the exit of assets from wallets associated with developer Hayden Davis to its alleged final destination in the hands of Mauricio Novelli, whom he described as a 'lender' to Milei. The prosecutor questioned that, despite the time elapsed, the case still has no indictments or key summonses, and warned that a large part of the elements discussed in the file come from the complainant's own activity. In his argument, this reconstruction was accompanied by international technical audits and, therefore, —in his view— leaves less room for the file to continue without moving to decisive procedural stages. The $Libra case originated on February 14, 2025, when Milei posted a message on social networks presenting $Libra as an instrument to boost investment and financing for startups, accompanied by technical data that allowed access to the token. The publication —due to the office of the one who issued it— operated as a signal of confidence for thousands of users and multiplied the asset's reach in minutes.
