"A criminal complaint was filed against both persons for the criminal offence of document forgery," AFP cites Montenegro's police as saying Friday, a day after Kwon and a second person were arrested at Podgorica airport.
A court official said Kwon would appear in a Podgorica court later Friday, but it is unclear which country has issued the extradition request. Federal prosecutors in New York charged Kwon with fraud on Thursday hours after his arrest.
