Javier Milei shuts down task force investigating LIBRA scandal
Summary
Argentine President Javier Milei dissolved the Investigative Task Force (ITU) established to probe the LIBRA cryptocurrency scandal. The task force was disbanded via a decree signed by Milei and Justice Minister Mariano Cúneo Libarona. Despite opposition pressure to continue investigations, the task force's mandate was declared complete. LIBRA, promoted by Milei on social media, briefly surged in value before crashing, leading to allegations of insider trading and manipulation. The scandal damaged Milei's credibility, with 58% of Argentinians expressing distrust in the president. Further developments are expected.
