Following in the footsteps of Do Kwon, another cryptocurrency fraudster has been apprehended in Montenegro. Roman Ziemian, the Polish co-founder of the cryptocurrency trading platform FutureNet, has been arrested in Montenegro.
According to local authorities, Ziemian has been accused of defrauding users of approximately $21 million and was subsequently arrested in Montenegro.
After evading capture for over a year, Ziemian was finally apprehended in a joint operation involving Montenegrin police and Interpol.
Ziemian had previously escaped from house arrest in Italy in 2022 and had international arrest warrants issued against him by both Poland and South Korea.
Montenegrin law enforcement found him hiding under a false identity in a newly developed residential area of the capital, Podgorica.
During the operation, officials seized various technical devices and items suspected of being linked to Ziemian’s criminal activities. Authorities have charged Ziemian with violations related to money laundering, theft, and economic crimes.
According to local police reports, Ziemian’s partner, Stefan Morgenstern, was also arrested in Greece last year and later in Albania. Ziemian is expected to appear before a judge in the High Court of Podgorica, which will decide on his extradition.
As Montenegro continues to be a focal point for high-profile international crypto crime cases, the arrests of individuals like Ziemian and Kwon underscore the growing global crackdown on digital asset fraud.
