Terraform Labs LUNA/USD co-founder Do Kwon and former CFO Han Chong-joon have been granted conditional release by a Montenegrin court after they each posted bail of 400,000 euros (U.S.$436,000).

The duo were detained in March at Podgorica Airport, accused of attempting to exit the country using counterfeit travel documents.

Following the payment of their bail, the Basic Court in Podgorica stated that both men will be held under house arrest and police supervision.
