Breaking: Do Kwon Emerges Victorious Once Again in US Extradition Appeal

Terra co-founder Do Kwon has seen another victory in the extradition case to the United States. The Montenegro higher court overruled the decision of a lower court to extradite Do Kwon to the US, according to a translated version of the statement issued on Tuesday. This is Do Kwon’s third victory against the Montenegro High Court, which had previously upheld South Korea’s and the United States’ demands for extradition.

Do Kwon Exempted from Extradition Once Again

Following the panel meeting on March 5, 2024, the Appellate Court of Montenegro announced a ruling in which it granted the defense attorneys for defendant Kwon Do Hyeong’s appeal and overturned the decision to extradite him. The legal action that culminated in the extradition decision in February in the Balkan nation has not seen the Court of Appeals citing “significant violations of the provisions of criminal procedure.” According to the statement, there are no “clear and valid reasons” for the order of arrival request letter’s crucial data.

Do Kwon, one of the Terra co-founders, had previously been accepted for extradition by a higher court in Montenegro. Do Kwon and Han Chang-joon were found guilty of forging passports fraud and received a four-month prison sentence then. This was also followed by Han Chang-Joon being extradited to South Korea based on the same fraud.

However, a relief for Kwon came when back in December, the Montenegrin High Court determined once more that Do Kwon’s extradition requests were still pending and gave him a second win against the extradition.
