According to the newspaper, Terraform’s former chief finance officer, Han Chang-jun, is facing identical charges. In March, Han and Kwon were arrested in Podgorica.
Following the issue of the indictments, Montenegrin prosecutors reportedly demanded that the two former Terraform executives’ incarceration be extended.
While Han and Kwon face charges in Montenegro, another Terraform co-founder, Shin Hyun-seung, also known as Daniel Shin, remains at large in South Korea. The executive was arrested by local officials, but the Seoul Southern District Court refused the motion. After questioning Shin, the court concluded that there was little chance that Shin would flee or destroy any evidence relating to Terra’s fall.
