Do Kwon's extradition decision is reportedly nearing completion, with Montenegro's Justice Minister indicating that an announcement will be made by Sunday.

Minister Bojan Božović informed the Montenegrin newspaper Dan that he plans to finalize and sign his verdict by the end of this week, determining whether Kwon will be sent to South Korea or the United States to face charges related to the Terra/Luna collapse.

In a previous ruling, the Supreme Court deemed earlier decisions concerning Kwon’s extradition illegal, ultimately transferring the matter to Božović.

Acknowledging the pressure of this responsibility, Božović stated that it might have been simpler if the court had already determined the destination for Kwon’s extradition. He noted, “When the court leaves us to decide, I must proceed accordingly.”

Additionally, there have been reports suggesting that Kwon may have been leveraged in discussions over a deal involving Montenegro’s airports, which would allow South Korea to manage these facilities for three decades.

Furthermore, local sources claim that during his 72-day confinement in Spuž prison, Kwon had access to electronic devices like laptops and phones, allegedly enabling him to conduct at least three cryptocurrency transactions from behind bars.
