Argentina’s Anti-Corruption Office: Javier Milei’s Libra tweet was a personal act and did not violate public morality regulations

Odaily Planet Daily News: Argentina's Anti-Corruption Office (OA) said that the country's President Javier Milei acted in his personal capacity when promoting LIBRA and did not violate the country's public morality regulations. The investigation report pointed out: "The promotional posts are not related to administrative actions, no public resources are allocated, and no institutional support is obtained. They should be interpreted as personal or private communication behaviors and do not produce any form of official public policy direction." Javier Milei initially promoted the Libra cryptocurrency on his personal X account to support small businesses and startups in Argentina. But he deleted the post after the token's market value plummeted 90% from its peak of more than $2 billion. The resulting scandal, called "Cryptogate" by local media, led opposition politicians to call for the impeachment of Javier Milei and triggered a lawsuit filed by the country's lawyers on behalf of losing investors. Javier Milei asked the Argentine Court of Auditors (OA) to investigate to "determine whether any member of the national government, including the president himself, has committed misconduct."
