Do Kwon Extradition to SK Reviewed by Supreme Court

Do Kwon, faces extradition challenges as Montenegro’s prosecutors reject a court ruling favoring his deportation to south Korea (SK) over the United States.

The prosecutors in Montenegro have rejected the court’s ruling regarding the extradition of Do Kwon, the co-founder of Terraform Labs, to South Korea (SK) . Two weeks ago, a high court in Podgorica, Montenegro, decided to export Do Kwon to South Korea (SK).

Do Kwon’s Extradition to US Blocked by Montenegro Court

Another court in Montenegro had previously requested the extradition of Kwon to the United States of America.

Regrettably, the court overturned this motion. Since Do Kwon and his team had previously preferred having him deported to South Korea (SK), this was a success for them.

South Korea’s preference over the United States stems from its lower white-collar crime penalties. Almost immediately after the court’s decision regarding Do Kwon’s extradition, the Department of Justice (DOJ) of the United States of America voiced some complaints.

As the basis for its objections to Do Kwon’s extradition to South Korea, the Department of Justice highlighted a few international accords and Montenegrin law as the reasoning behind its position.

It is important to note that the extradition of Do Kwon has been a contentious issue between the United States and South Korea (SK) because both countries have allegations against him regarding Terraform Labs.

The United States of America is continuing its efforts to deport Kwon in line with the applicable international and bilateral agreements and the law of Montenegro. The Department of Justice recently released a statement expressing gratitude to the Montenegrin authorities for their cooperation in upholding the rule of law for all individuals.

The itinerary calls for Do Kwon’s deportation to South Korea (SK) on March 24. However, the office of the Supreme State Prosecutor argued that procedural flaws necessitate bringing the matter before the nation’s Supreme Court.

Both the Appellate and High Courts allegedly mishandled his case. The prosecutors also declared that they “went beyond their authority to make a decision on extradition, which is the exclusive right of the Justice Minister.”

According to all indicators, extradition to South Korea (SK) should not be considered a conclusion because it could move in the direction that the officials of the Montenegro government want, which is extradition to the United States.

However, it’s crucial to remember that the United States might still suggest a trial in New York prior to his eventual deportation to South Korea.(SK). We should consider this carefully.

Due to the complications associated with Do Kwon’s extradition, anything will not be settled until the Supreme Court of Montenegro decides.
