The Argentine judiciary has cleared President Javier Milei and nine others in the LIBRA crypto scandal, marking a significant legal development in the country's cryptocurrency landscape.
Federal judge Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi announced the dismissal on October 23, following a 20-month investigation. The decision was based on the lack of evidence to establish criminal fraud, despite the LIBRA token's 95% crash and the withdrawal of nearly $100 million by select wallets.
Cointribune is the only outlet reporting on this development, and there are no corroborating sources or conflicting accounts at this time.
The LIBRA token was a cryptocurrency project that gained attention in Argentina, but its dramatic collapse raised concerns about potential fraud and misuse of funds.
The broader crypto market remains relatively stable, with a total market cap of $2.76 trillion. 
Bitcoin is down slightly by 0.05% in the last 24 hours, while the Fear & Greed index stands at 54, indicating a neutral market sentiment.
