South Korean prosecutors have reportedly requested Interpol to intervene in their case against Do Kwon by issuing a Red Notice.
According to reports from the, the Seoul Southern District prosecutors’ office said it had begun the procedure to place Kwon on Interpol’s Red Notice list following steps to revoke his passport while he was in Singapore. Interpol’s website states that a Red Notice is requested by authorities to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action, but the agency cannot compel local law enforcement to arrest the subject of such notice.
Kwon has continued to be active on social media amid potential arrest and prosecution. The Terra co-founder claimed he was “not ‘on the run’ or anything similar” but did not reveal his location.
According to Interpol, there are currently 7,151 individuals publicly named on the agency’s Red Notice list out of 69,270. At the time of publication, Kwon was not among them and the only South Korean national so named was 59-year-old Lee Changhwan, wanted by Indian authorities.
