The appellant argued that the evidence was insufficient and that the tax authorities failed to prove the specific intent required for criminal liability. The court found that the documentary evidence and witness testimonies sufficiently established the illegal acquisition of funds and the deliberate concealment of income, thereby confirming the lower court's findings of fact and law.
