Defense calls for review of past cases following Knežević appellate ruling

Montenegro's Court of Appeal has confirmed a judgment concerning businessman Duško Knežević and several co-defendants, according to an official statement from the judicial authority.

Following the court's decision, Knežević's defense team argued that significant grounds exist to systematically re-examine every case previously managed by former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić. Knežević, a prominent Montenegrin tycoon who has faced multiple indictments related to financial crimes, has consistently denied all charges against him.

The appellate court's ruling solidifies the prior judgment, concluding another phase in the long-running judicial proceedings. Defense lawyers maintain that prosecutions overseen during Katnić's tenure require thorough review to ensure legal integrity.
