\n

In a recent development, Kwon Do-hyung, the founder of Terraform Labs (TFL), has lodged an appeal against the extradition ruling by the High Court of Podgorica in Montenegro.<\/p>\n

Will Court Hear Do Kwon\u2019s Appeal Against Extradition?<\/h3>\n

The Montenegrin Court of Appeal confirmed on December 6 that Kwon Do-hyung has contested the decision, stating, \u201cI do not accept the court\u2019s decision to extradite me, so I do not submit to the court\u2019s decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

With this appeal, the Montenegrin Court of Appeals is mandated to reassess the extradition decision. Consequently, the Montenegrin Ministry of Justice faces challenges in reaching a conclusive decision on Kwon Do-hyung\u2019s repatriation by the looming deadline of December 15.<\/p>\n

This legal development follows the Montenegrin court\u2019s initial decision<\/a> on June 15 to detain Kwon Do-hyung for extradition, setting a six-month detention period until December 15.<\/p>\n

In recent developments, Marija Rakovic, the press officer of the Podgorica High Court, clarified on December 1 that individuals involved in extradition cases, such as Kwon Do-hyung, possess the right to challenge court decisions, as per information sourced<\/a> by local news publication Digital Asset.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rakovic further elaborated, stating, \u201cOnce the appeal is submitted, the Montenegro Court of Appeals will decide (on extradition) again.\u201d While there is a prevailing local belief that the chances of overturning the repatriation decision are minimal, the legal process continues to unfold.<\/p>\n

Will Terra Founder Go to the US or South Korea?<\/h3>\n

Approximately two weeks following the extradition decision, Kwon Do-hyung has filed an appeal. On November 24, Montenegro\u2019s High Court, in a press release, announced the approval of Kwon Do-hyung\u2019s extradition, requested by both South Korea and the United States.<\/p>\n

Despite this, the court clarified that the final decision on the repatriation country, whether Korea or the United States, rests with the Minister of Justice. During the extradition trial, Kwon Do-hyung expressed a preference for extradition to Korea, as mentioned in the court\u2019s press release. On the other hand, the U.S. SEC is also seeking the extradition<\/a> of Do Kwon.<\/p>\n

Subsequently, concerns have arisen regarding Kwon Do-hyung\u2019s intention to comply with the extradition decision, prompting inquiries from various parties, including the Montenegrin court, the Ministry of Justice, and Kwon Do-hyung\u2019s legal representative.<\/p>\n
