Abstract:
On March 20, 2021, the United States government obtained custody of Mun Chol Myong after Malaysia extradited him to face U.S. money laundering charges. He was the first North Korean extradited to the U.S. after a Malaysian court denied the argument that the U.S. charges were politically motivated.[1]
