Libra Evidence Sparks Fresh Questions Over President Milei’s Role
New call logs suggest President Milei spoke with Libra token entrepreneur multiple times before promoting it, contradicting his claims of no involvement.Summary
Newly uncovered call logs obtained by Argentine prosecutors indicate that Argentine President Javier Milei had seven phone calls with an entrepreneur behind the Libra token on the night he promoted it. This evidence raises questions about Milei's previous assertion that he had no connection to the project. The contents of these calls are currently unknown. The collapse of the Libra token, which cost investors at least $251 million after surging and then losing over 96% of its value, has led to fraud charges against Milei and calls for his impeachment. Milei has denied wrongdoing, stating he was unaware of the project's details and deleted his promotional posts after learning more. A federal investigation into the Libra collapse is ongoing, with Milei named as a person of interest. While Argentina's Anti-Corruption Office previously cleared him of violating public ethics rules, a recent judicial investigation uncovered a draft document suggesting a potential $5 million agreement linked to Milei's promotion of the token.
