A resurfaced investigation into alleged corruption involving the controversial LIBRA token has brought new pressure to Mauricio Milei ahead of Argentina’s upcoming election. The probe, initially dormant after Milei disbanded its task force in May, re-emerged following the leak of explosive recordings linked to former presidential lawyer Diego Spagnuolo. These tapes detailed potential cash-for-favors dealings and included Milei’s sister Karina, with Spagnuolo later confirming their authenticity, providing opposition forces with powerful ammunition. 🎧 This scandal ignited protests against Milei, resulting in demonstrations where protesters pelted him with lettuce and trash. The ensuing scrutiny has propelled the investigation to the forefront, with a new investigative commission now focusing on high-ranking officials accused of insider trading and pumping up the libra token for personal gain. 5 opposition blocs, together representing over 50% of Argentina’s lower house, voted to advance the investigation despite resistance from Milei’s allies. The commission is expected to issue its report by November 10th – right before the election in October. This timing poses a significant challenge for Milei who already struggles with soaring inflation and social unrest. The public frustration stemming from these scandals could potentially decide his reelection bid. Even if the inquiry reveals no wrongdoing, it may have already damaged Milei’s image.
