The influencer claims to be a victim of a media operation.
Juan Grabois, a lawyer, states that Serrano collaborated with those involved in the alleged scam.
The actor, influencer and youtuber Julián Serrano has been indicated as alleged involved in the Libra case, the Token promoted by President Javier Milei in February of this year. Argentine authorities investigate their possible participation in the concealment of half a million dollars in cryptocurrency wallets.
Federal prosecutor Eduardo Taiano determined that Manuel Terrones Godoy and Mauricio Novelli, charged with Milei for the alleged fraud, moved assets for approximately $ 500,000 to cryptocurrency wallets to avoid freezing. The investigations indicate that Serrano, a list of Terrones Godoy at the firm “City Esports”, could have had a role in this operation.
According to the victims’ lawyer, Juan Grabois, the funds would have been destined to “pay coimas” – surrounding. In one publication In social networks, Grabois said: «Justice found a part of the money that Novelli and Terrones Godoy were robbed of our representatives and the rest of the victims. They hid it with the participation of Julián Serrano youtuber in Blockchain accounts. Everything indicates that they used it to pay bribes ».


For his part, Serrano published a statement in his X account, in which denied flatly have any link with the LIBRA project. In addition, he shared a video in which he claimed to be a victim of a media operation and suggested that these types of situations are part of his work, since, according to him, mentioning his name generates attention and stir.
«Faced with versions spread in networks and media, I categorically inform that I do not have, nor have I possessed, any link with the project called ‘Libra’. All mention or hint that tries to associate my person with that cause lacks factual and legal support, ”he said, adding that Your legal team will evaluate judicial actions against those who disseminate these accusations.
It should be noted that prosecutor Taiano had asked the freezing of the accounts where the funds were, before they were transferred to decentralized wallets. Among the assets are 323,275 USDT and 403,671 dollars in Ethher (ETH). Judge María Servini supported the measure in order to ensure the confiscation of resources linked to the alleged fraud.
Tether International consulted prosecutor Taiano about the reasons to request the freezing of the funds, and according to local mediaHe explained that the assets were linked to “indirect payments to public officials” related to the criminal maneuver under investigation.
The truth is that the scandal around Libra continues to generate repercussions. As Cryptonotics reported, recently the former Diana Mondino, who integrated the Milei cabinet until October 2024, reappeared publicly and questioned Javier Milei for having promoted the Token.
The dissemination of Token by the president promoted an abrupt increase in his price, followed by a collapse amid the elimination of the publication and suspicions of a possible Rug-Pulla frequent practice in the ecosystem in which developers withdraw the funds after artificially inflate the value of the asset. In fact, finance specialists such as Carlos Rodríguez said that the presidential tweet was decisive for the alleged scam to reach media and economic relevance.
