Montenegro, the small Balkan nation that Do Kwon fled to before he was arrested for holding false and flagged passports, is continuing to feel significant political reverberations from his apprehension, with current Justice Minister Bojan Božović investigating non-extradition decisions made by his predecessor Andrej Milović.
The investigation by Božović was launched after Milović suggested that Do shouldn’t be extradited to South Korea, as it would impede the concurrent investigation taking place in the United States.
Milović implied that he believes Prime Minister Milojko Spajić is purposely trying to send Do to South Korea so that he won’t be implicated in the collapse of Luna.
However, the investigation into Milović has nothing to do with Do. Rather, it concerns a refusal to extradite supposed Kurdish crime boss Binali Camgoz back to Turkey.
While Montenegrin courts have said Camgoz’s extradition should be allowed and the Montenegrin secret service has suggested his presence in the country is dangerous, Milović has instead claimed that sending the Kurd back to Turkey is desired by Spajić and Božović to ensure funding for infrastructure projects in Montenegro.
It’s worth noting that Milović is currently running for mayor of Podgorica — the capital of Montenegro — which is often a jumping board for further political ambitions. Milović and Prime Minister Spajić are also in competing political parties.

Messy extraditions and political upheaval
Regardless, what this has proven yet again is that Do Kwon’s existence within Montenegrin borders has thrown disarray into the political-upper echelons and shown how flimsy and unreliable extraditions can be in general.
Meanwhile, nearly a year and a half ago, Do’s lawyer told Protos life in Montenegro would be “grim” for Do and that he expected it to take “at least a year” before any extradition occurred.
The same lawyer is now requesting half a million dollars in claims from the Luna estate due to his representation of Do. It’s unclear when he will be extradited or whether it will be to South Korea or the US.
