made the position through his lawyer in a federal court in southern New York.Mr.
agreed to stand trial in custody without bail, and was held in federal detention in Brooklyn after the hearing.
Earlier in March last year, when the Montenegrin government arrested Kwon at Ford Goricha International Airport, the Korean government requested extradition, but Montenegrin delivered Kwon's whereabouts to the United States on the 31st of last month.
