"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.

CFTC's Selig opens legal dispute against states getting in way of prediction markets
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Mike Selig fired a legal warning shot defending his agency's jurisdiction over the event contract space.
O que saber:
- U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chairman Mike Selig directed his agency to file an amicus brief declaring his federal agency has authority over the U.S. prediction markets.
- Though the CFTC once fought a legal resistance against such firms as Polymarket and Kalshi, the agency has embraced them during the administration of President Donald Trump, whose son has worked as a paid adviser for the leading companies.
- As Selig defends his agency's jurisdiction in court, he's also pursuing new prediction markets rules for the U.S.
