'Tera·Luna Incident' Kwon Do-hyung's Close Associate Han Chang-jun to Be Repatriated Domestically This Afternoon

Montenegro Authorities Extradite Criminal Suspect
Transferred to Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office for Investigation

Han Chang-jun (37), former Chief Financial Officer of Terraform Labs Korea and one of the key suspects in the so-called 'Terra·Luna incident' that wiped out approximately 52 trillion won in market capitalization, will be repatriated through Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 6th.

The Ministry of Justice, which received Han's custody from Montenegrin authorities on the previous day under the criminal extradition procedure, plans to repatriate him through Incheon International Airport around 1:55 PM on the same day. After being repatriated to Korea, Han is expected to be transferred to the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office for investigation.

The Joint Financial and Securities Crime Investigation Division of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office, which is investigating the Terra·Luna case, requested Interpol red notices and criminal extradition for suspects who fled overseas. While tracking the suspects, it was confirmed that Han was arrested by Montenegrin police at Podgorica Airport, Montenegro, on March 23. Subsequently, a criminal extradition request was made to Montenegrin authorities. At the time, Han was arrested by local police while attempting to leave for the United Arab Emirates using a forged Costa Rican passport.

A Ministry of Justice official stated, "After filing the criminal extradition request, we conducted a local business trip to Montenegro, held working-level consultations, and submitted opinions, closely cooperating with Montenegrin authorities to make efforts for the repatriation of the suspect. As a result, we were able to repatriate suspect Han to Korea." The official added, "We express our gratitude to the Montenegrin authorities who cooperated in the repatriation, and we will do our best to ensure that Kwon Do-hyung, a major suspect related to this case, can also be repatriated to Korea."

The decision on whether to extradite Kwon is expected to be made before the end of his detention period on the 15th.
