That earlier ruling was revoked because the appeal court found it \u201cincomprehensible\u201d and did not provide sufficient factual evidence. The first extradition orders were not properly formed, which is required by law, the court also found.<\/p>\n<p>According to the appellate court judge, <em>\u201cthe court of first instance did not establish in an unquestionable way the order of arrival of the petitions of the Republic of South Korea and the United States of America,\u201d<\/em> a critical aspect in such extradition proceedings involving multiple countries.<\/p>\n<h2>Legal Background and Previous Rulings<\/h2>\n<p>The original ruling, issued in November, concluded that the legal requirements for extraditing Kwon to both the US and South Korea had been fulfilled. The decision was based on petitions from the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Korea and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United States, citing allegations of defrauding investors, market manipulation, and mismanagement of funds.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the November ruling, authorities extended Kwon\u2019s custody period in December, compelling him to remain in Montenegro for an additional two months. Kwon\u2019s arrest in June 2023 occurred when he attempted to board a flight to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) using a forged Costa Rican passport.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\"> <strong><strong>Get 125% \/ $2,500 on 1st deposit!<\/strong><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>New players only.
