Milei Ends LIBRA Probe as Scandal Grows With New Evidence
Argentine President Javier Milei has disbanded the Investigative Task Unit (UTI) probing the LIBRA cryptocurrency scandal, despite mounting political opposition and fresh legal challenges. The move follows a May 19 decree signed by Milei and Minister Cúneo Libarona, abruptly halting an investigation that began in February after Milei promoted LIBRA on social media.
The token suffered a $4.4 billion market value collapse post-endorsement, sparking insider trading allegations. Judicial review of Milei’s financial records reveals suspicious outflows coinciding with LIBRA’s price surge. Critics argue the shutdown obstructs accountability for what appears to be a coordinated pump-and-dump scheme involving government insiders.
