The Court of Appeal dismissed the defendant's appeal against the first-instance conviction for tax evasion and ordered the defendant to pay all appeal costs. The defendant argued procedural errors and factual mistakes, but the court found the appeal entirely groundless. Consequently, the original conviction was upheld, and the defendant was held liable for the full cost of the appellate proceedings.
