Argentine lawyers file complaint with US DOJ, FBI amid LIBRA fallout
A group of Argentine lawyers have filed a complaint with the US DOJ and FBI that points to the protagonists behind the LIBRA token and asks for President Javier Milei to be investigated.
An Argentine law firm filed a criminal complaint with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Feb. 17, pointing to the protagonists behind the downfall of the LIBRA token, according to Clarin, a newspaper in Argentina. The complaint also asks that the role of Argentine President Javier Milei be investigated.
On another legal front, Civic Coalition ARI filed a criminal complaint on Feb. 17 requesting that the Ministry of Justice investigate claims of bribery and fraud allegedly promoted by President Milei, adding that the “government cannot be judge and jury.”
The LIBRA token rallied on Feb. 14 after President Milei posted about the project on X. The post, now deleted, emphasized that the project would go to funding “small Argentine businesses and start-ups” and included the contract address, leading the token to rise to a $4.56 billion market cap before plummeting to $257 million just hours later.
