Montenegrin appellate court upholds conviction of businessman Duško Knežević
Montenegro's Court of Appeal has upheld a verdict against businessman Duško Knežević, prompting his defense team to demand a review of past indictments by prosecutor Milivoje Katnić.
Montenegro's Court of Appeal has confirmed a lower court ruling against businessman Duško Knežević and several co-defendants, formalizing an earlier judicial decision in a high-profile financial crime case.
Following the ruling, Knežević's legal representatives renewed demands for a thorough review of all indictments issued during the tenure of former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić. Defense attorneys maintain that an independent audit of Katnić's prosecutorial record is necessary to guarantee institutional fairness and correct alleged procedural irregularities in prior cases.
Knežević, who was extradited to Montenegro earlier this year, continues to reject all allegations against him as several other legal proceedings remain pending.
