A criminal investigation into Argentine President Javier Milei and his sister's links to a cryptocurrency scandal has been dropped.
The case against Milei and his sister Karina Milei was dismissed by federal judge Marcelo Martinez de Giorgi at the request of prosecutors, court records show.
The Argentinian president had denied promoting the newly launched cryptocoin $Libra , which collapsed shortly after he mentioned it in a social media post in February 2025.
The cryptocurrency's price subsequently shot up when the Argentine president shared a link to buy it.
