eSportainment: Dolce & Gabbana Sentenced To Prison
Famed fashion duo Dolce and Gabbana are sentenced to one year and eight months in prison for tax evasion on Wednesday in Milan, Italy.
When we heard the news some months back that fashion
duo, Dolce & Gabbana may be going to jail for tax evasion , we were filled
with trepidation.
Italy's
appeals court upheld a verdict issued last June against the pair on charges of
using Luxembourg holding company Gado to avoid paying taxes on royalties of
about 1billion euros (£820million).
The
designers who have always denied any wrongdoing said they would appeal the
decision.
Lawyer
Massimo Dinoia said: 'I am speechless. We are all shocked. The judgement is
inexplicable and we will appeal.
'The
prosecutor himself asked for them to be cleared.'
The
Milan prosecutor had asked the court back in March to clear the pair, who in
a protest last year at being 'pilloried' closed their Milan stores.
