  "account": "An Argentine court has dropped a case against President Javier Milei over his alleged involvement in a cryptocurrency scandal. The case centered on Milei's promotion of $LIBRA on social media, which lost value hours later, causing estimated losses of over $200 million. The judge, Marcelo Martínez de Giorgi, ruled that the incidents did not constitute a crime. Milei's sister, Karina Milei, and others were also investigated. The decision was criticized by the opposition, with La Cámpora describing the judiciary as being controlled by a \"mafia\" serving those in power.",
  "summary": "Javier Milei can breathe a sigh of relief: the cryptocurrency fraud allegations are off the table for now. The judiciary is closing the investigations against the Argentine President. The opposition is outraged.",
