Argentina: No charges for President Javier Milei in the case of a collapsed cryptocurrency

Javier Milei and his sister Karina will not face charges in the $LIBRA cryptocurrency case, as a federal judge ruled there was no criminal basis for the allegations. The investigation stemmed from Milei's brief promotion of the cryptocurrency on social media in February 2025, which led to significant financial losses for many investors. The judge dismissed claims of misconduct, stating there was no evidence of Milei's involvement in any public contracts related to $LIBRA. Milei has consistently denied any wrongdoing, claiming he only aimed to support a project for Argentine tech SMEs. Following the ruling, he criticized the political motivations behind the accusations, while opposition figures condemned the decision as a cover-up.
