After a new assessment, a Montenegro court has once again accepted Terra founder stablekwon's request for bail as he faces document forgery charges. iamsandali reports.
In March, Kwon, along with former Terra executive Han Chang-joon, were arrested in Montenegro for allegedly attempting to travel with falsified documents. Authorities in South Korea had been searching for Kwon after his multi-billion dollar crypto enterprise collapsed in May last year. Since his arrest, both South Korea and the U.S. have requested Kwon's extradition to face criminal charges following his trial in Montenegro.
"The court appreciated the fact that they are persons who are not Montenegrin citizens, which is why it accepted their statements about the value of the property they own, which were supported by concrete evidence," the basic court said in Friday's statement. The case also requires authorities in Belgium to verify the authenticity of travel documents Kwon and Han had in their possession, and the accused could face a prison sentence of up to five years, the court said. Contrary to the prosecution's opinion, the court said a sum of 400,000 euros"cannot represent an insignificant part of their property."
The two South Korean nationals are due back in court on June 16. The prosecution has three days to appeal the bail decision.
