Argentine President Javier Milei has responded after he and his sister, Karina Milei, were judicially cleared in the $LIBRA cryptocurrency case. In his remarks, Milei asked who would compensate him for the reputational damage he said he suffered over "one year, eight months, and nine days" because of what he described as lies, defamation, and insults. He said the judiciary had "put things back in their proper place" and argued that the case exposed a "huge political and media operation." According to Milei, the sole purpose of that operation was to damage the presidency through what he called a "coup-style" political objective. He also singled out and criticized several journalists. Earlier reports said an Argentine court had dropped the criminal investigation into both Milei and his sister in connection with the LIBRA case.
