The Public Commissioner, holding on all the appeal grounds, submissions and position on the finding and opinion of the international observers, concluded that the assessee failed to reach a reliable level in the asset assessment criterion, as he has made an incorrect and insufficient declaration and he lacks legitimate financial sources.
