Since 2023, the decision to send the Terraform co-founder to South Korea or the United States has been contested in Montenegrin courts.
On Aug. 1, the Montenegro Appellate Court upheld a previous ruling to extradite Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon to his home country of South Korea.
According to a court statement, there is no motion to appeal the extradition ruling, and Do Kwon’s repatriation to South Korea will be fast-tracked.
The recent ruling is likely the last in a series of legal battles, appeals, and reversals on whether to extradite Kwon to the United States to face charges or to South Korea, which is likely a more favorable legal jurisdiction for the embattled South Korean native.
