The Arrest of Do Kwon!
A Twitter account in the name of Filip Adzic — the country's interior minister — said that police have detained a man suspected of being one of the world's most-wanted fugitives.
The statement added that he was apprehended at a local airport, where he had falsified documents.
However, official confirmation of his identity is yet to take place.
Adzic's tweet has been retweeted by the country's prime minister.
Kwon is currently facing investigations in the U.S. and his native South Korea following the collapse of LUNA and UST last May, which wiped tens of billions of dollars from the market.
His whereabouts were unknown for many months, with Kwon previously denying that he was on the run — and his location was secret over fears for his safety.
Interpol had released a red notice for Kwon, meaning that law enforcement agencies around the world were requested to locate and arrest him ahead of extradition.
But the fallen crypto entrepreneur had questioned whether such a red notice existed because it wasn't on Interpol's website.
