The Anti-Corruption Office (OA) resolved that President Javier Milei did not commit the crime provided for in the Ethics of Public Function law by disseminating the "Viva la Libertad Project" and its associated cryptocurrency $LIBRA from his personal account on the social network X (formerly Twitter) on February 14, 2025.
The decision, signed by Alejandro Melik, head of the OA, an agency that depends on the government itself, specifically the Ministry of Justice, was issued following an administrative investigation that analyzed the behavior of the president and other officials in relation to the public promotion of this project, which generated economic and judicial repercussions.
The resolution, dated Thursday, June 5, focused on determining whether Milei's publication constituted an official act or a private activity, and whether it involved the use of public resources or the undue promotion of private interests. The analysis was conducted within the framework of a parallel investigation in the Federal Justice, where the main case is being processed in the National Criminal and Correctional Federal Court No. 1, under the charge of Judge María Romilda Servini, with the intervention of Federal Prosecutor's Office No. 3 led by prosecutor Eduardo Taiano.
"Since no procedure, act, or state contract regarding the referred project and/or the cryptocurrency $LIBRA has been detected, the hypothesis of omission of a duty of abstention by the President of the Nation in this regard should be dismissed," says the resolution signed by Melik and emphasizes that "the said post, not connected with administrative acts, without allocation of public resources, nor institutional support, must be interpreted as an act of individual or private communication that has not generated an official direction of public policies of any nature."
