According to foreign media such as the Montenegro daily “Pobeda” on the 26th (local time), Kwon’s local legal representative, Goran Rodić, recently said in an interview with DL News, a media outlet specializing in virtual currency, “Kwon is using a solitary cell in the detention center.” Earlier, Kwon was sentenced to four months in prison by a Montenegro court. Lawyer Rodić said, “Kwon Do-hyung is currently living in a solitary cell and comes out of the solitary cell twice a day to feel the outside air.” However, he did not explain why and how long Kwon was imprisoned in solitary confinement. At the hearing on the 16th, CEO Kwon asked the judge to let him share the same room with his confidant Han, saying, “It’s hard because there’s no one to talk to,” but it was not accepted. At that time, it is estimated that CEO Kwon lived alone. Lawyer Rodić said, “CEO Kwon and Han are enduring their imprisonment well in a healthy and stable manner,” but added, “The situation is not good.” It’s not like a movie. Prison is not an easy place for anyone,” he said. DL News reported that CEO Kwon may be grateful for the solitary cell. This is because at the Spuz detention center where CEO Kwon was imprisoned, bloody clashes are notorious due to conflicts and conflicts between gangs.According to Alexandra Dubak, a legal adviser to Montenegro’s local human rights group Citizens’ Coalition, the detention center holds a large number of mafias and those involved in murder, bomb installation, extortion and drug trafficking in the Balkans. As a result, prison guards are reportedly accommodating rival members in different areas and strengthening monitoring to prevent them from encountering each other, causing problems such as overcrowding due to the lack of efficient use of prison space.
According to the Montenegrin daily “Viesti”, as of the beginning of this year, the Spudz detention center had 380 people imprisoned in a space that could accommodate 292 people. “The Spuz detention center has been suffering from overcrowding for years, and if the prisoner is living in solitary confinement, there is a special reason,” Dubak said. “It is because of the risk of ill health or serious violence or special requests.” Meanwhile, CEO Kwon, who founded Terraform Labs, the publisher of Terra and Luna, left Korea a month before the Terra and Luna crash and continued to flee overseas for about 11 months. Representative Kwon and Han were arrested and indicted on March 23 while trying to leave for Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, using a fake Costa Rica passport at Podgorica International Airport. The men were each sentenced to four months in prison at the Ford Goricha District Court on Wednesday. Their remaining sentence is about a month, but they are expected to stay in Spuz detention for the time being as the higher court, Podgorica High Court, extended their detention by six months to secure the recruits needed for extradition.
“It’s premature to talk about whether to appeal the results of the first trial of the forged passport case,” lawyer Rodić said. “We are more focused on reviewing the extradition case.”
And Korea’s multi-level stock manipulator, whose market capitalization of about 80 billion dollars disappeared in just four days. The gunman is Ra Deok-yeon, who was arrested yesterday. Then, Ra Deok-yeon will no longer have the results of the investigation after his arrest, and it has already been decided.There has been a situation in which the participating forces are related as business figures, and the investigation has not been carried out and the results have not been released. I wonder that even the Korean media has not even reported on their actions since then. What steps and results will they show?
