Montenegro's appellate court upholds ruling against Duško Knežević

Montenegro's Court of Appeal has confirmed a judgment against businessman Duško Knežević and his co-defendants, according to an official announcement from the judicial authority. Knežević, who was extradited to Montenegro earlier this year on multiple financial crime charges, has consistently maintained his innocence.

Following the court's decision, Knežević’s legal representative stated that compelling reasons exist to conduct a thorough review of all cases prosecuted under former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić. The defense team argued that an independent audit of Katnić's past indictments is necessary to guarantee justice, citing ongoing concerns regarding previous prosecutorial decisions. Knežević remains at the center of several prominent judicial matters in the country.
