Argentine lawyer Gregorio Dalbon has reportedly asked for a
global arrest warrant to be issued for Hayden Davis, the co-creator
of the LIBRA token that caused a political scandal in the
country.
Dalbon submitted a request to prosecutor Eduardo Taiano and
judge María Servini, who are probing President Javier Milei’s
involvement in
the memecoin, seeking for an Interpol Red Notice to be issued
for Davis, local outlets Página 12 and Perfil
reported
on March
11.
Dalbon said in the filing that there was a “procedural risk” if
Davis remained free as he could have access to vast amounts of
money that would allow him to either flee the US or go into
hiding.
“His central role in the creation and promotion of the $LIBRA
cryptocurrency, coupled with the international impact of the case,
increases the likelihood that he will take steps to evade justice,”
the document reportedly stated.
Dalbon, who represented former Argentine president Cristina
Fernández de Kirchner in her corruption case, asked for Davis’
arrest and for “an Interpol red notice [to] be issued in order to
locate and arrest him, with a view to his extradition.”
Interpol is the biggest international police organization and
can issue Red
Notices that request law enforcement agencies around the world
to locate and provisionally arrest someone.
LIBRA is a token that Milei shared across his social media
accounts just minutes after its creation on Feb. 14, which
catapulted it to a peak value of over $4 billion. The token’s
creators held most of the supply and quickly sold
their holdings, which caused the token’s price to
crash, with many claiming the token was a pump-and-dump
scheme.

Days later, various lawyers reportedly filed
fraud charges against Milei in an Argentine criminal court for
promoting the token, while other lawyers reported the president for
financial crimes to local authorities and to the US
Justice Department.

Milei has claimed
he didn’t “promote” the LIBRA token and insisted he just “spread
the word” about it.
In a lengthy interview days after LIBRA’s collapse with YouTuber
Stephen Findeisen, better known as “Coffeezilla,” Davis
defended the
token as a failure rather than a scam.
Davis and his firm, Kelsier Ventures, were the biggest winners
from the LIBRA token launch. He claimed to Findeisen that he netted
around $100 million but said he didn’t own the tokens and wouldn’t
be selling them.
It was later reported that he sent a text message bragging about
being able to pay Milei’s sister, Karina Milei, to have the
president share the memecoin’s details on X. Davis later said he
had no record of this on his phone and denied making payments to
the Mileis.
