He was arrested in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, last January while being wanted by Interpol, and was extradited to Argentina on the 9th (Korean time). He is accused of various crimes including threats, theft, and domestic violence. He is being held in C?rdoba prison and is scheduled to stand trial starting in July.
