Authorities detained Kwon at Podgorica airport as he tried to embark on a journey to Dubai with falsified papers. Montenegro’s local news source Vijesti revealed that the court approved the 30-day extension after the prosecution argued that Kwon posed a considerable flight risk. The court also factored in that Kwon is a foreign citizen with an indeterminate identity.
South Korean officials have been tracking the Terraform Labs co-founder’s activities between Singapore, Dubai, and Serbia, following the disintegration of the Terra ecosystem. Mere hours after Kwon’s capture in Montenegro on March 23, US attorneys in New York initiated criminal proceedings against him, including fraud allegations.
The 31-year-old entrepreneur is confronting eight distinct charges, which involve commodities fraud, securities fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to deceive and participate in market manipulation.
