Italy's top court clears Dolce & Gabbana of tax evasionOctober 24, 2014 - 21:52 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, founders of the Dolce & Gabbana fashion house, have been cleared by Italy's top court of tax evasion, according to BBC News. Two lower Italian courts had found the two guilty of failing to declare millions of euros the company had earned through a subsidy based in Luxembourg. In April, they had been sentenced to a suspended 20-month jail term. Dolce and Gabbana have always denied the charges. In June 2013, they were convicted by a lower court for failing to file tax declarations for the Luxembourg company, Gado, which prosecutors alleged was set up to evade paying taxes in Italy. The two denied the charges, and last year they briefly closed their Milan stores in protest. The ruling by Italy's top court is the final ruling on the subject.
