Whereas Montenegro continues to flip-flop on the place — or even when — to extradite Do Kwon, it seems that the crypto scammer is managing to single-handedly rip the Balkan nation aside.
Most not too long ago, the previous minister of justice, Andrej Milovic, accused present prime minister, Milojko Spajić, of purposely trying to have Do extradited to South Korea as an alternative of america for his personal egocentric causes.
Milovic mentioned, “Prime minister Milojko Spajić and his close friend lawyer Goran Rodić, Do Kwon’s defender, are trying in every way to prevent Do Kwon’s extradition to the USA, in order not to stop the complete investigation by the US judicial authorities and examine the business relationship between Do Kwon and Spajić, which they had before the indisputably mounted the pre-election scandal surrounding the arrival of Do Kwon in Montenegro and the connection with the financing of PES (the political party of Spajić).”
He additionally claimed that he misplaced his position particularly as a result of he meant to have Do extradited to the US, saying, “Spajić could not come to terms with the fact that with my legal knowledge… I prevented the illegal and rigged extradition to South Korea, about which we had a private discussion, which was ultimately one of the reasons for my dismissal.”
The image painted by Milovic suggests a rustic rife with corruption and conspiracies even on the highest ranges of public workplace. Spajić has already admitted to assembly with Do earlier than the latter’s arrival in Montenegro and to buying 750,000 LUNA tokens in 2018 (although he had beforehand said that the acquisition was for his employer — a declare which proved to be unfaithful).
Additionally, the lawyer representing Do, Goran Rodic, has filed claims value over $500,000 in opposition to Terraform Labs. The declare is an bill for authorized illustration in extradition proceedings for Do and appears to recommend that he hasn’t been, nor does he count on to be, paid for his service.

Workplace of the PM fires again
Chatting with Montenegrin-media outlet Vijesti, the PM’s workplace mentioned that every one of Milovic’s claims have been false and that Spajić had dismissed the justice minister as a result of he “wanted to cover up the non-extradition of the leader of the Turkish branch of the Kavak clan, Binali Čamgoz, to his home country with false affairs that he suddenly remembered after his justifiable dismissal.”
Čamgoz is accused of a double homicide and, like Do Kwon, was caught in Montenegro with a pretend passport. Whereas Do has had his extradition tussled over by two competing nations, Čamgoz hasn’t been despatched again to Turkey apparently on account of his Kurdish ancestry and the very fact he might be unduly persecuted.
Whereas deflecting the claims made by Milovic, the PM’s workplace as an alternative mentioned the accusations have been “fabricated affairs and conspiracy theories that serve to cover a Maradona-style bravado,” and an try and place Milovic to win the mayoral race in Podgorica.
This led to Milovic to reply in variety, saying that he “received congratulations from the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe and ministers from the EU” for his judgment to not ship Čamgoz again to Turkey.

Do threatens Montenegro’s rise to the EU
For years, Montenegro has been negotiating to realize EU membership and not too long ago, it’s been mentioned by the German Chancellor that such an ascendency might be as little as 4 years away. However, with reasonable claims of corruption from the previous minister of justice, it appears doubtful that it may happen that rapidly.
Nevertheless, it’s additionally value declaring that it’s not clear why the US would cease investigating co-conspirators and political corruption claims simply on account of Do being extradited to South Korea, nor why Montenegro wouldn’t do a wide-scale investigation of its personal.
Regardless, the state of affairs continues to unravel and seem worse and worse for PM Spajić, who’s combating for his political life.
