 <p class="paragraph">The Appeals Court in Montenegro overruled the High Court’s previous decision to extradite Do Kwon, per a <em>Vijesti </em>report from December 19. The Appeals Court found that there had been multiple violations in the legal proceedings that led to the High Court decision on November 17.</p>
 <div></div>
 <p class="paragraph">According to the statement, the decision to extradite Do Kwon does not offer sufficient reasons, and the reasons provided are themselves unclear. The Court, thus, concluded that the High Court’s ruling should be overruled and the case brought back to the Primary Court in Podgorica, the capital of Montenegro.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">In the same ruling, the Appeals Court also decided that Do Kwon’s associate, Hon Chang Joon, is also not to be extradited to either the United States or South Korea at this time. The court, however, sustained Kwon and Joon’s 4-month prison sentence in Montenegro.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">After multiple months on the run due to his role in the Terra (LUNA) crash, Do Kwon and Hon Chang Joon, Terraform Labs’ Chief Financial Officer, were arrested at the Podgorica airport on March 23, 2023.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Interestingly, while Do Kwon previously agreed to an expedited <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="extradition" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/extradition.html">extradition</a> process, the fact that two separate countries requested his <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="extradition" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/extradition.html">extradition</a> caused the High Court to opt for the lengthier, standard legal process, per the <em>Vijesti </em>report.</p>
