Argentine Judge Dismisses Fraud Charges Against Milei Over LIBRA Promotion
Current overview (not historical)
An Argentine judge, in a 60‑page ruling, found that President Javier Milei’s promotion of the LIBRA token did not constitute fraud, and dismissed criminal charges against him and ten others. The court held that the mere act of advertising the token and its price movements were insufficient to prove deceptive intent, and that economic losses alone do not equate to a crime. The prosecutor, Eduardo Taiano, had previously sought to dismiss the case, arguing that the evidence failed to meet the threshold for fraud. Opposition parties accuse the judiciary of shielding Milei and plan to appeal, while the original complaint had alleged that Milei and the others were involved in a scam. The decision marks a significant legal setback for the accusations, though the controversy and potential appeal remain unresolved.

- BeInCryptoArgentine Judge Clears President Milei and 11 Others in LIBRA Meme‑Coin Case
Report first recorded Oct 25, 20:46
A federal judge in Argentina dismissed criminal charges against President Javier Milei, his sister Karina, and nine other individuals in the LIBRA meme‑coin controversy. Judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi ruled that Milei’s promotion of the token on X on February 14, 2025, and the subsequent 95 % price collapse did not constitute fraud, citing a lack of evidence linking the promotion to deceptive intent or use of public resources. The judge’s 60‑page decision noted that economic loss alone does not prove a crime and that no formal suspect questioning occurred for any of the 11 defendants. Critics, including opposition deputy Maximiliano Ferraro, accuse the ruling of being a judicial cover‑up, and some former plaintiffs have requested the Federal Cassation Court to reinstate the case for appeal. The court has archived the matter, but the possibility of reopening the appeal remains.
