According to local reports, Milei would have been in constant communication with Mauricio Novelli, a crypto entrepreneur, just moments before writing the post sharing the token contract with his followers on social media. This could imply a coordinated strategy behind Milei’s actions.
Libra: Milei Held Several Phone Calls Before Announcing the Token’s Issuance on Social Media
The Libra case might take a new turn after reports potentially linking President Javier Milei to the token issuance.
According to local reports, a forensic analysis of the seized phone of Mauricio Novelli, one of the entrepreneurs linked to the issuance of Libra, shows several phone calls and communications directed to President Javier Milei’s phone at the time of the token issuance.
C5N, one of the largest news networks in Argentina, stressed that there were at least 5 phone calls between Novelli and Milei before the president shared the project’s token contract with his followers on social media channels.
This could answer the question regarding how Milei could obtain the Tokjen contract before it was posted by anyone else. While Milei claimed that he just copied the contract from the internet and shared it on his X account, experts consulted by the Congress’s investigative commission declared that the contract was not available before Milei’s post.
Ariel Zak, a C5N journalist, highlighted that there were communications with other relevant parties. He stated:
“There comes a moment when the conversations are interrupted; some time later, they resume, and at that point, communications reportedly took place from the presidential phone to Novelli’s phone. A conversation also reportedly occurred between Novelli and Julian Peh (CEO of Kip Protocol), and—in the interim—there may also have been communications with the Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei.”
The President’s Office has denied Milei’s connection to the token issuance, claiming that he only shared the post as he did with many others launching projects in Argentina. Over 44k investors were affected by Libra’s sudden price drawdown, later linked to insiders profiting from the token’s popularity.
