The Argentine president has set up a working group to investigate LIBRA-related parties and asked the anti-corruption office to intervene

Odaily Odaily星球日报 reports that the Office of the President of Argentina issued a statement on LIBRA on X: "On October 19, President Milei met with representatives of the KIP Protocol company, where he learned that the company plans to develop a project called 'Viva la Libertad' using blockchain technology to provide funding for private companies in the Argentine Republic. The President participated in this meeting and it was officially recorded in the public hearing registry, with participants including KIP Protocol representatives Mauricio Novellli and Julian Peh, as well as Presidential Spokesperson Manuel Adorni. In this context, on January 30, 2025, the President held a meeting at the Pink Palace with Hayden Mark Davis, who, according to KIP Protocol representatives, will provide the technical infrastructure for his project. Davis has had no past or present relationship with the Argentine government, and the KIP Protocol representatives introduced him as one of the project's partners. Finally, yesterday, the President shared a post on his personal account announcing the launch of the KIP Protocol project, just as he does with many entrepreneurs who want to start projects in Argentina to create job opportunities and attract investment. Due to his non-involvement in the development of any cryptocurrency, and to avoid any speculation and further dissemination, he decided to delete the post after it generated a reaction. Given the facts, President Milei has decided to immediately request the intervention of the Anti-Corruption Office (OA) to determine if any members of the national government, including the President himself, have engaged in improper conduct. On the other hand, the President has decided to set up an Investigation Task Force (UTI) within the Presidential Palace, composed of representatives from institutions and organizations related to crypto assets, financial activities, money laundering, and other relevant areas, who will integrate information and conduct an urgent investigation into the launch of LIBRA and all companies or individuals involved in the aforementioned actions. All information collected during the investigation will be transferred to the courts to determine if any companies or individuals related to the KIP Protocol project have committed crimes."
