Argentine lawyers have filed fraud charges against Millay for promoting cryptocurrencies on social media

Lawyers in Argentina filed fraud charges against President Javier Millet in a criminal court on Sunday, accusing him of promoting cryptocurrencies on social media. One of the plaintiffs, a lawyer, Jonatan Baldiviezo, said they had seen in the incident an illegal organization that had committed "an indefinite number of frauds." "In this illegal organization, there was a crime of fraud, and the president's action was critical," he said. The criminal justice department is expected to assign a judge to the case on Monday or refer it to prosecutors for further investigation.
