Argentine federal courts have acquitted President Javier Milei and his sister Karina Milei in the LIBRA cryptocurrency fraud case, ruling his promotional tweet was private and the actions did not constitute a crime. This removes immediate legal pressure on the presidency, though the decision is subject to appeal and opposition figures allege a cover-up. Milei has subsequently escalated confrontational rhetoric against journalists covering the case, accusing them of political operations and issuing threats.
