Montenegrin Court Approves Extradition of Do Kwon: Legal Battle Reignited
The Montenegrin court has once again given the green light to the extradition of Kwon Do-hyeong, a central figure in the Terra Luna cryptocurrency crash, reigniting the legal saga surrounding his extradition. This decision follows the local Supreme Court's nullification of the previous ruling, prompting a fresh examination of the extradition proceedings.
Reports from local newspapers indicate that the Podgorica High Court in Montenegro has approved Kwon's extradition, affirming that the legal requirements for extradition to both Korea and the United States have been satisfied. However, the final decision lies with Justice Minister Andrej Milovic.
"The Podgorica High Court in Montenegro decided to permit the extradition of Mr. Kwon, stating that the legal requirements for extradition 'to Korea and the United States' were met," local dailies Bjesti and Pobeda reported.
Meanwhile, Kwon's legal team has the option to appeal within three days. Speculation suggests that Kwon may be extradited to the United States, given Minister Milovic's expressed preference for such an outcome.
Kwon's journey, from his disappearance following the Terra Luna crash to his arrest in Montenegro via the UAE and Serbia, has been a legal drama to follow closely!
