This step is a compulsory procedure under the law.</p>
<p>Kwon’s legal team successfully appealed based on this error, resulting in the case being sent back to the Podgorica Basic Court for another hearing. This turn of events represents a significant shift in the ongoing legal challenges facing Kwon, who is currently detained in Montenegro on allegations of using forged documents.</p>
<p>The core of the matter lies in international demands for Kwon’s extradition following the downfall of his cryptocurrency enterprise, Terraform Labs, which occurred in May 2022.</p>

<p>This development in Do Kwon’s legal troubles surfaced after the Appeals Court in Montenegro overturned a prior judgment by the Podgorica High Court, which had initially green-lighted Kwon’s extradition.</p>
<p>This legal complexity extends across international borders, with both the United States and South Korea seeking Kwon’s extradition to face criminal charges related to the implosion of Terraform Labs.</p>
