Victims of the $LIBRA scam were authorized as plaintiffs after a Supreme Court ruling.

The $LIBRA scam took a key step in the court system. The Federal Court of Criminal Cassation authorized the victims to act as plaintiffs in the case. The decision was made after rejecting the appeal filed by defendants Mauricio Novelli and Manuel Terrones Godoy , who sought to stop the victims from participating. The case arose from a social media post by President Javier Milei , who is also a defendant in the case.

The resolution was signed by Judges Alejandro Slokar and Guillermo Yacobucci of Chamber II. The case investigates an alleged scam linked to the promotion of the $LIBRA cryptocurrency from Milei's official account. Since then, the case has progressed with multiple allegations of fraud.

The case is being heard in the court of Federal Judge María Servini , who delegated the investigation to prosecutor Eduardo Taiano . Servini had initially refused to allow the victims to act as plaintiffs. However, the Federal Court overturned that decision, and the Supreme Court has now upheld it.

The defendants had filed a new appeal to prevent the victims from pursuing the case. But their appeals were unsuccessful. The court thus upheld the victims' right to participate in the criminal proceedings, adding momentum to the LIBRA fraud investigation.

Furthermore, the case adds new patrimonial implications that directly affect Milei and her closest circle.

Prosecutor Eduardo Taiano requested the lifting of tax and banking secrecy for President Javier Milei and his sister Karina Milei . The request also extends to Mauricio Novelli , Manuel Terrones Godoy , and former advisor to the National Securities Commission, Sergio Morales . The measure seeks to deepen the asset investigation linked to the promotion of the $LIBRA cryptocurrency.

According to judicial sources, some of the information requested by Taiano is protected by bank secrecy. Therefore, the prosecutor formally requested access to this data as part of the investigation.

The case arose from a post published by Javier Milei on his X account on February 14. The investigation into the $LIBRA scam continues to gather momentum and now includes the direct participation of the victims as plaintiffs, which promises to give even greater momentum to the case.
