BroadChain has learned that, according to a report by The New York Times on April 7, Argentine President Javier Milei held seven phone calls with entrepreneur Mauricio Novelli on the evening of February 14, 2025—the launch date of the LIBRA project. The calls spanned the period immediately before and after Milei posted promotional content about the project on X.
The report further indicates that recent mobile forensic evidence includes suspected payment-related audio recordings and draft documents outlining financial arrangements. This evidence has intensified scrutiny of Milei's previous assertion of having "no association with the project." While Milei has not been formally charged, he has become a central figure in the ongoing investigation.
