Montenegro appellate court upholds verdict against businessman Duško Knežević

Montenegro's Court of Appeal has upheld a verdict concerning businessman Duško Knežević and several other co-defendants, according to an official announcement from the judicial institution.

Following the ruling, legal counsel representing Knežević asserted that serious reasons exist to re-examine all historical cases handled by former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić. Knežević, a prominent Montenegrin tycoon, has faced multiple legal proceedings involving financial offenses, which his defense team has consistently disputed. The confirmation by the appellate court solidifies the previous decision, concluding another stage in the long-running judicial actions against the businessman and his associates.
