The Attorney General's Office denies that the conviction it demanded judges hand down to tax graft convict Gayus H. Tambunan was weak.

"I don't understand why some say that the conviction demand was poor," Attorney General Basrief Arief said.

He added that all four articles that the prosecutors had accused Gayus of violating were proven in court.

"Gayus was proven guilty by the judges on all four accounts," he said.

He added that he appreciated the judges' decision but would push forward for an appeal.

Although judges found Gayus guilty on four accounts by prosecutors, judges convicted Gayus to seven out of the 20 years' imprisonment demanded by prosecutors.
