The higher court in Podgorica confirmed the indictment against Duško Knežević, in the case known as "Karbon".

The hearing to examine the justification and legality of this indictment was held in mid-December last year.

Special state prosecutor Lidija Vukčević filed an indictment against Duško Knežević, which states, among other things, that Knežević, Predrag Dašić, Zoran Nikolić, Brankica Bašović and Biljana Bašović caused damage to the legal entity "Global Karbon" DOO Podgorica, and to the legal entities " Fin Invest", "Atlas Grupa", RTV "Atlas", "RT Mimoza", "Atlas Sistem" and "Mega Gulf Investments Holdings Limited" obtained legal benefits in the amount of 1 euros.

From the business documentation and financial documentation, the special prosecutor states that during 2008, Duško Knežević organized a criminal group, and that this follows from the testimony of the defendants' defense as well as from the testimony of associate witness Đorđe Đurđić, he writes in the explanation of the indictment.

During 2008, the defendant Duško Knežević organized a criminal organization on the territory of Montenegro that operated until the end of 2017, whose members became the other defendants, as well as Đorđe Đurđić – a cooperating witness in this case.

According to the indictment, the defendants intentionally incited Biljana Bašović, the executive director of the company "Global Karbon", whose founder is Invest banka Montenegro AD Podgorica, with the intention of obtaining illegal property benefits.

Thus, in December 2008, Duško Knežević made a decision to transfer the EUR 1.000.000 in the "Global Carbon" account with IBM Bank from the founding contribution paid by the founder of IBM Bank to the account of the non-resident legal entity "Mega Gulf Investments Holdings Limited ", with Atlas Bank in Moscow for the purpose of closing the loan that the legal entity has with Atlas Bank in Moscow, whose repayment term has expired.

The agreement on the alleged purchase and sale of carbon credits, which will not happen...

It was agreed that "Mega Gulf" would purportedly purchase carbon credits in the name and for the account of "Global Carbon", which agreement served as the basis for the realization of the aforementioned financial transaction. The transfer order was filled out by Brankica Bašović, certified by her signature, and transferred funds in the amount of one million euros from the "Global Kartbon" account to the "Mega Gulf" account.

The indictment also mentions the loans arranged by Knežević, when, in order to realize the criminal plan, he made the decision that IBM Bank approves a loan to "Global Carbon" in the amount of 500.000 euros, and that the means of securing the return of the loan will be a deposit of "Global Carbon" in in the amount of EUR 500.000, which, without the decision of the founder of IBM Bank, will be given from the founding role of that legal entity which was paid by IBM Bank to the legal entity "Global Karbon".
