Do Kwon, the founder of Terra, was apprehended on March 23, 2023, in Montenegro as he was preparing to board a private jet bound for Dubai at Podgorica Airport. A video capturing Kwon being escorted out of the Montenegrin court in handcuffs gained significant attention online.
In recent updates, the Montenegro court has granted Do Kwon’s release on bail, approving his request for bail amounting to 400,000 euros ($428,000). Since his arrest, regulators from both South Korea and the United States have been seeking Kwon’s extradition, which is related to the collapse of his multi-billion-dollar cryptocurrency enterprise in May of the previous year.
The latest reports indicate that Do Kwon has now been sentenced to four months in jail in the Montenegro document forgery case.
