Montenegro's Court of Appeal upholds verdict against Duško Knežević

Montenegro's Court of Appeal has confirmed a ruling in the legal proceedings involving businessman Duško Knežević and several co-defendants, according to an official announcement from the judicial authority.

Following the appellate court's decision, Knežević's defense counsel argued that serious reasons exist to re-examine every case previously overseen by former Chief Special Prosecutor Milivoje Katnić. Knežević, a prominent Montenegrin tycoon who faced multiple indictments related to financial offenses, has consistently contested the charges. The appellate court's ruling solidifies the prior judgment, concluding another phase in the long-running judicial proceedings against the businessman.
