Do Kwon, the co-founder of Terraform Labs, has recently appealed a new decision by the Montenegro High Court. This decision supported the extradition requests made by the United States and South Korea.<\/p>\n
“We have appealed again and are now awaiting a new decision from the Court of Appeals,” said Do Kwon’s lawyer.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Kwon’s recent appeal challenges the decision of the High Court, which he deems a blatant violation of the law, the European Convention on Extradition, and the bilateral extradition treaty with America.<\/p>\n
According to his lawyer, Goran Rodic, it appears that local courts are under political pressure regarding Kwon’s extradition. In November, Kwon managed to overturn a previous decision by the High Court, but on December 29, the court once again deemed the extradition requests valid.<\/p>\n

In May 2022, the company Terraform Labs, behind the cryptocurrency projects LUNA and UST and valued at several billion dollars, simply collapsed, causing a ripple effect that led to the downfall of many crypto companies. As a result, Do Kwon, the co-founder of Terraform Labs, is facing fraud charges in his home country of South Korea, as well as in the United States.<\/p>\n
Arrested in Montenegro last year for possession of forged official documents, he was sentenced to four months in prison.<\/p>\n
While serving his sentence, Montenegro not only needs to approve his extradition, but also decide on his destination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Do Kwon Appeals the Decision of the Montenegro Court Do Kwon, the co-founder of Terraform Labs, has recently…\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":434491,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":"","original_i18n_url":"https:\/\/coinacademy.fr\/actu\/extradition-do-kwon-createur-terreform-labs-appel\/"},"categories":[139],"tags":[],"coauthors":[],"yoast_head":"\n
