Argentina has officially reopened the investigation into President Javier Milei in the LIBRA scandal after months of stagnation due to administrative and congressional barriers. Previously, Milei had dissolved the investigation task force in May, causing the process to come to a standstill. However, new corruption allegations, particularly from leaked recordings of Diego Spagnuolo – a former lawyer and government official – suggest that Milei and his sister Karina are involved in bribery, forcing the opposition to take action.
Currently, there are 5 parties with 136/257 seats in the House of Representatives supporting the reopening of the investigation, despite opposition from Milei's supporters. The new committee has set a deadline of November 10 to publish the report, which is after the elections in October. The LIBRA scandal, combined with bribery allegations, is putting heavy pressure and could seriously harm Milei's political career.
