Overview
- Multiple outlets on Tuesday detailed DATIP forensics from lobbyist Mauricio Novelli’s phone that mapped out coins and merchandising built around President Javier Milei’s image.
- Chats show a WhatsApp group named “Proj. Argentina” with Novelli, Iván Canales of ICV Advisors, and financier Gregor Beck, alongside 2024 meetings logged at the Casa Rosada and the Olivos residence.
- Documents describe a test strike in Germany and targets of 5,000 gold and 20,000 silver pieces priced near $3,150 and $50, plus a broader merch line, but nothing reached market.
- The case now examines possible access-for-pay deals, tracing crypto payments and checking if any official sign-offs existed, under fiscal Eduardo Taiano and Judge Marcelo Martínez De Giorgi.
- A letter of intent attributed to Cube Exchange sought decade-long tax breaks, rapid approvals and direct contact with regulators, and the court is reviewing it as outlets differ on whether it was ever signed.
