Dolce & Gabbana Convicted
Fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were found guilty on charges of hiding hundreds of millions of euros from Italian tax authorities. Each of them is given a reduced sentence of 18 months in jail on Wednesday against the previous decision, by a lower court, handed them jail sentences of 20 months each and imposed a fine of up to €10m.
Avoidance of the payments in Italy, where corporate taxes are among the highest in Europe, the case stems from an investigation that began in 2008 when Italian tax authorities stepped up their fight against tax evasion as a global financial crisis began to bite.
Massimo Dinoia, a lawyer for Dolce and Gabbana, who have always denied the charges, said, the judgment is inexplicable and we will appeal.
