Do Kwon was allegedly recorded by Serbia’s government intelligence agency​​ at a meeting with Montenegrin prime minister Milojko Spajic, according to former justice minister Andrej Milović.

This is despite Spajic denying the pair had held any meetings after Do reportedly stated in a letter last year that he has known Spajic since 2018 and that the pair held meetings in Belgrade.

According to Montenegrin outlet Vijesti, Milović made the claim at the ‘Podgorica list’ presentation where he claimed, “If I wanted to remain silent, I would still be a minister.” Milović is currently running for mayor in Montenegro’s capital, Podgorica.

The country’s former PM, Dritan Abazovićmp, also accused Spajić of meeting Kwon in Serbia to purchase millions of dollars worth of Terra/Luna tokens for a Bulgarian-based, Singaporean-headquartered hedge fund called Das Capital.

Milović has previously claimed that Spajić attempted to prevent Do’s extradition to the US with the purpose of sending him to South Korea. Do is reportedly likely to receive a lighter sentence if he is extradited to South Korea. 

It’s worth noting that Milović is also under investigation by Montenegro’s current Justice Minister, Bojan Božović, for refusing to extradite an alleged Kurdish crime boss to Turkey.

He claimed that both Spajić and Božović want him to be extradited to Turkey to ensure funding for infrastructure projects in Montenegro.

Montenegro PM Milojko Spajić may have met with Do Kwon, report https://protos.com/montenegro-pm-milojko-spajic-may-have-met-with-do-kwon-report/ Tue, 21 May 2024 17:10:47 +0000 https://protos.com/?p=66780 It's claimed that Milojko Spajić made a deal with Do Kwon to buy millions of dollars of Terra/Luna tokens for a Bulgarian-based hedge fund.

According to Montenegrin media, not only did Do Kwon and former Terra exec Han Chang-joon purchase luxury apartments in the Serbian capital of Belgrade before making their way to Montenegro, they may have met with the country’s prime minister, Milojko Spajić, at some point before their arrests.

Do and Han are well known for their involvement with failed algorithmic stablecoin protocol Terra/Luna, which collapsed two years ago.

As DLNews reported in April, Do and Han purchased real estate and parking spots in the best part of Belgrade — with the condominium they were staying in being worth in excess of $2 million. However, according to former prime minister and current MP Dritan Abazović, the duo may have been up to much more than just hobnobbing with the Serbian elite and avoiding law enforcement.

Abazović claims that a source told him Do and Spajić met at Topalovićeva 4 in Belgrade and that Spajić may have made a deal with Do to purchase millions of dollars worth of Terra/Luna tokens for a Bulgarian-based, Singaporean-headquartered hedge fund called Das Capital.

Abazović claims that Spajić was able to purchase the tokens for ten cents and later sell them for $118, though there was no evidence to prove the claim.

It’s worth noting that Spajić has indeed previously worked for Das Capital, though when he last helped inform any transaction for it or if the hedge fund is even involved in cryptocurrency is not clear.
