The court decided to extend Kwon’s detention period, which was originally set to end on Friday, by two months, until February 15. The decision comes after both the US and South Korea are considering an algorithmic stablecoin. TerraUSD It comes as Kwon seeks extradition over accusations related to his 2022 collapse.
Last month, the Supreme Court ruled that Kwon could be extradited and left the decision on the country to be extradited to the Montenegrin Minister of Justice. However, Kwon’s defense team appealed the decision. According to Rakovic, the appeal is currently being considered by an appeals court in Podgorica.
The country’s Justice Minister Milovic has not yet announced his decision and is not expected to do so until Kwon’s latest appeal against the court decision is decided by the country’s courts.
