Following his arrest in Montenegro while attempting to fly using fake documents, Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon will reportedly appeal the court\u2019s decision to extend detention time for up to 30 days.<\/p>\n

A legal representative of Kwon confirmed the appeal against the Montenegrin court\u2019s decision to detain the entrepreneur for longer than usual, according to local media Vijesti. The decision was made after Kwon was caught using fake documents at Podgorica airport while trying to fly to Dubai. <\/p>\n

While Montenegro authorities typically allot detention for up to 72 hours, Kwon\u2019s 30-day extension was approved after prosecutors highlighted the high possibility of an escape. The court considered that Kwon was a foreign national whose identity was not clearly identified.<\/p>\n

Since the collapse of the Terra ecosystem, Kwon has been suspected of moving between Singapore, Dubai and Serbia by South Korean authorities.<\/p>\n
