Alleged Newtoki Operator Extradited From Japan to South Korea
The suspected operator of Newtoki, one of South Korea's largest illegal webtoon distribution sites, was extradited from Japan to South Korea on Thursday. The 37-year-old former Korean national, who acquired Japanese citizenship in 2022, is accused of running a large-scale piracy network. The extradition is the first time Japan has extradited one of its own nationals to South Korea under their bilateral treaty.
