Montenegrin court upholds verdict against businessman Duško Knežević
Montenegro's Court of Appeal has confirmed a ruling against businessman Duško Knežević, prompting his defense to call for a review of cases led by former prosecutor Milivoje Katnić.
Montenegro's Court of Appeal has upheld a ruling against businessman Duško Knežević and his co-defendants, according to an official judicial announcement.
In response to the decision, Knežević’s legal team asserted that there are compelling reasons to review all cases handled by former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić. Knežević, who faces multiple financial crime charges, has repeatedly rejected all allegations. His defense maintains that prosecutions initiated under Katnić's leadership warrant a comprehensive legal audit to safeguard justice.
The appellate court’s confirmation seals another stage in the high-profile judicial saga surrounding Knežević, who was extradited to Montenegro earlier this year to face trial.
