Supreme Court of Montenegro expects Do Kwon judgement this month

The Supreme Court is reportedly expected to decide if the Do Kwon extradition judgment violated the law by the end of the month, according to its acting president. 

Indeed, Vesna Vučković told the Montenegrin publisher Vijesti that the Supreme Court will be deciding on a “request for the protection of legality” filed by the Supreme State Prosecutor. 

Vučković says the prosecutor believes there have been multiple law violations from the High Court and Appellate Court final judgments regarding the extradition of the disgraced crypto founder Do Kwon. 

She noted objective reasons have prevented the Supreme Court from scheduling a session to decide on the prosecutor’s legal request.

Protos has charted his court journey and found the latest extradition postponement from the Supreme Court marked the 20th development in his case and the Supreme Court’s second intervention.

Vučković noted that it’s not a good look if the Supreme Court decides defendants were illegally favored in final High Court and Appellate Court judgments within a few short months.  

She said, “That should worry us because it creates additional legal uncertainty for citizens, but also for judges of lower courts, who monitor judicial practice.” 

In April, the US found Do liable for fraud in relation to the $40 billion collapse of his Terra/Luna cryptocurrency firm. Both the US and South Korea want to extradite Do from Montenegro. 

Montenegro’s president also commented on Do’s case, noting that the current prime minister said he never knew Do on the day of his arrest. The PM personally bought 750,000 Terraform/Luna tokens before Do’s arrest, contradicting his statement to the president.
