    Argentina opposition seeks prosecutor’s removal in $LIBRA case and warns of possible cover-up

    One of the most sensitive findings in the technical report is the reconstruction of contacts between Novelli and the presidential circle on Feb. 14, 2025

    Political pressure on the judicial investigation into the $LIBRA case intensified on Monday after opposition lawmakers said they would file a complaint against federal prosecutor Eduardo Taiano before the Discipline Tribunal of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and seek his removal from the case. The move followed new reports published by Argentine media on the forensic review of Mauricio Novelli’s phone, one of the central pieces of evidence in the investigation.
