Dolce & Gabbana Hit with Tax Fraud Charges

Thursday, 20 June 2013 | by Pat's Picks

An Italian judge sentenced designers Dolce & Gabbana to prison after finding them guilty of avoiding paying $265 million in taxes. The duo was given one year and eight months behind bars and will have to pay $665,000 in fines. The New York Post says the designers are appealing the decision and will avoid jail time if they win. Italy has been especially tough on tax evaders these days as it tries to pad the governments coffers in the wake of the global financial crisis.
