LIBRA scandal: The Anti-Corruption Office cleared Javier Milei of the case.

The Anti-Corruption Office has removed President Javier Milei from the investigation into the $LIBRA cryptocurrency scandal and asserted that the president "did not violate the Public Ethics Law" by sharing the scam on his personal X account.

In article 1 of the resolution published on June 5, the Anti-Corruption Office details that Javier Milei " did not violate Law No. 25,188 on Ethics in the Exercise of Public Function by disseminating the private project 'Viva la Libertad Project', carried out on February 14, 2025 through his personal account on the social network X, @JMilei ."

The body, which reports to the Ministry of Justice, headed by Mariano Cúneo Libarona, ratified the official position of the National Government in the case: Milei " disseminated " the project through his social media accounts in his capacity as a "citizen," not as a president or public official. The resolution signed by Alejandro Guillermo Melik states: "The use of social media by public officials, including those occupying the highest positions in the State, does not imply, in all cases, the exercise of a public function under the terms established by the Public Ethics Law."

The text also notes that there is no evidence that Milei received any personal benefits for promoting the cryptocurrency. Sergio Morales , former advisor to the board of directors of the National Securities Commission, and Karina Milei, Secretary General of the Presidency, were also removed from the case, arguing that they did not intervene in the case.

The investigation was conducted by Eduardo Taiano of the Third Federal Prosecutor's Office, who compiled the various fraud complaints filed by investors who purchased the LIBRA. In addition to implicating the Milei brothers and Morales, the investigation also included other high-ranking officials, such as the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo ; the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem; and the presidential spokesman, Manuel Adorni; among others.

Civic Coalition deputy Maximiliano Ferraro took aim at the Anti-Corruption Office's decision, emphasizing: " The president can operate from his personal account, generate financial impact, and benefit a private sector, only to then claim it wasn't him acting as president ." "Milei is dissociated. He dissociates his institutional responsibility from his public word, his actions from their consequences, his investiture from his desires . The Anti-Corruption Office not only accepts this, it justifies it ," he emphasized.

FOR THE ANTI-CORRUPTION OFFICE THE PRESIDENT IS DISSOCIATED.

The OAS closed the investigation into the $LIBRA cryptocurrency scandal. Not because there are no links. Not because there are no consequences. It closed it because it decided to rule what the President wanted.
