Italian prosecutors on Friday requested the trial of famous fashion house Dolce and Gabbana for alleged tax fraud of around one billion euros (1.4 billion dollars), ANSA news agency reported. The request came from Milan prosecutor Laura Pedio, it said.
Reports last month said investigators had completed an inquiry into founders Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, as well as five other people. Il Sole 24 Ore business daily reported earlier the company had failed to declare 840 million euros in revenues.
The reported allegation is that Dolce and Gabbana created a company in Luxembourg in 2004 and 2005 which was given control of the group's brands, thereby avoiding Italian taxes.The unpaid taxes amount to 420 million euros, one report said.
