Montenegro appellate court upholds verdict against businessman Duško Knežević

Montenegro's Court of Appeal has confirmed a verdict against businessman Duško Knežević and his co-defendants, according to an official statement from the judicial authority. Knežević, who was extradited to Montenegro earlier this year to face financial crime charges, continues to maintain his innocence.

Following the appellate court's decision, Knežević’s defense counsel reiterated calls for a comprehensive review of all indictments brought under former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić. The defense team emphasized that an independent audit of Katnić's past cases is required to guarantee judicial fairness, citing ongoing concerns over previous prosecutorial decisions. Knežević remains a central figure in several prominent legal matters across the country.
