Arrest Call for President Milei Shadows European Trip

Argentinian President Javier Milei's visit to Europe has been overshadowed by a call from a Spanish deputy for his arrest upon arrival in Madrid. Podemos deputy Víctor Egío addressed the Spanish Congress, urging authorities to detain Milei due to his alleged involvement in the $LIBRA cryptocurrency scandal. "He should return what he has stolen," Egío stated during his speech, emphasizing the seriousness of the allegations. The scandal involves an alleged fraud scheme affecting thousands, many of whom were Spanish citizens. Milei's visit, which includes stops in France, Italy, and Israel, is expected to draw significant media attention. The Spanish government has yet to respond to Egío's request, leaving the situation uncertain. The incident highlights the growing international scrutiny surrounding cryptocurrency and its potential for misuse.
