According to PANews, the Montenegro Supreme Court has suspended the extradition process of Do Kwon to South Korea. This decision follows an appeal by the Supreme State Prosecutor's Office challenging the legality of a previous court ruling that approved his extradition. The suspension will halt the extradition proceedings while the Supreme Court reviews the case.
The extradition case involves several legal inconsistencies, with courts previously issuing multiple rulings regarding Do Kwon's extradition to both the United States and South Korea. Do Kwon is accused of orchestrating a $40 billion fraud through the Luna and Terra cryptocurrencies and was arrested in March 2023, awaiting extradition since then. His lawyers have criticized the handling of the case, highlighting multiple judicial decisions and noting that the appellate court's consistent legal reasoning is a positive exception. The case has garnered significant attention due to its legal complexity and political implications in Montenegro.
