Argentine President Milei Dissolves LIBRA Probe Task Force

Argentinian President Javier Milei has abruptly terminated the special investigative unit examining potential ties between his administration and the LIBRA cryptocurrency token. The dissolution decree, published in Argentina’s Official Gazette, redirects all findings to federal prosecutors while claiming the task force had fulfilled its mandate.

Judicial authorities confirm the broader criminal investigation into alleged financial misconduct will continue under the Public Prosecutor’s Office. The probe focuses on whether presidential associates engaged in conflicts of interest or illicit financial activities involving the digital asset.

This move comes amid growing global scrutiny of cryptocurrency-related political exposures. Unlike Bitcoin or ethereum with their transparent ledgers, LIBRA’s association with government figures raises unique regulatory questions about centralized digital assets.
