Montenegro's justice minister said he would announce within this week which country he would send Kwon Do-hyung, a key figure in the cryptocurrency "Terra and Luna" crash.

According to the Montenegrin daily Biesti on the 17th local time, Minister Boyan Bozobotsi said in an interview with local media that "the decision to repatriate Taekwondo has already been made and will be signed within this week."Mr.
was caught trying to leave for Dubai, United Arab Emirates in March last year using a fake passport at the Montenegro Podgorica International Airport.Shortly after the arrest of Mr.

, South Korea and the United States requested extradition almost simultaneously.

The Montenegrin Supreme Court reversed the decision to repatriate Kwon to Korea, which was confirmed by a lower court on the 19th of last month, and transferred the case itself to the Ministry of Justice.

As a result, the Montenegrin attorney general will decide whether Kwon will be tried in Korea or the United States.

"It would have been easier if the court had decided which country to repatriate, but now that the decision has been handed over, we will deal with it in accordance with the process," Bozovic said.

Even if the attorney general decides on the repatriation country, it is unclear whether Kwon's whereabouts will be delivered immediately.

If Kwon, who wants to go to Korea, decides to go to the U.S., there is a possibility that he will use all legal means to raise an objection, including filing a complaint with the local Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights.
