South Korean prosecutors: Extradition request for Do Kwon predates U.S.

According to Newsis, prosecutors from South Korea’s Seoul Southern District Prosecutor’s Office refuted the statement made by the Ministry of Justice of Montenegro that “the United States’ extradition request for Terraform Labs CEO Do Kwon was earlier than South Korea’s.” He was arrested on March 24, and the next day, on March 24, the Ministry of Justice submitted a criminal extradition request to Montenegro via email and international express, while the United States made the request on the 25th." Previously, Montenegro Minister of Justice Marko Kovac said, "The Priority will be determined based on the gravity of the crime, where the crime occurred, the order of extradition requests, nationality and other external factors."
