Argentine outlet La Nación had previously reported that prosecutor Eduardo Taiano requested the case be dismissed. The investigation began in February 2025 and focused on possible fraud tied to the issuance of the LIBRA token. Milei had promoted the token in a post on X, after which the token's price fell sharply. He later deleted the post and denied having any connection to the token.
