Montenegro court confirms verdict against Duško Knežević

Montenegro's Court of Appeal has upheld a lower court ruling against businessman Duško Knežević, prompting renewed calls to review former prosecutor Katnić's indictments.
Montenegro's Court of Appeal has upheld a ruling against businessman Duško Knežević and several co-defendants, formalizing a verdict in a high-profile financial crime case.
In response to the judicial confirmation, Knežević's legal team reiterated calls for a comprehensive review of all indictments prepared under former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić. Defense attorneys argue that a systemic re-examination of cases initiated during Katnić's tenure is essential to address alleged irregularities and ensure judicial integrity. Knežević, who was extradited to Montenegro earlier this year, continues to deny all charges while facing several ongoing legal actions.
