Following the revelation of communications between Mauricio Novelli and President Javier Milei regarding the cryptocurrency $LIBRA, prosecutor Eduardo Taiano is examining phone data belonging to Novelli. In light of this information, Taiano is planning to take further investigative measures, including summoning new witnesses linked to the communications that have come to light. Sources indicate that this is part of a broader investigation involving Milei and several others, although they are not formally charged yet in the case.

The investigation involves not only President Milei but also his sister Karina and a number of individuals related to Novelli, including his sister Maria Pia Novelli and their mother, Maria Alicia Novelli. These figures are being scrutinized as part of the ongoing examination of transactions and communications associated with the virtual wallets involved in the $LIBRA scheme. The prosecutor is awaiting additional cybercrime reports, which are expected to shed more light on the nature of these digital assets.

This case has significant implications given its ties to high-level political figures in Argentina. The intersection of politics and cryptocurrencies raises concerns about regulatory oversight and potential misconduct in the endorsement or promotion of such digital currencies by public officials. As the investigation unfolds, it may affect public perception of cryptocurrency and governance in Argentina, as well as the future actions of those involved in the case.
