The court in Milan also ordered the fashion house to pay a fine of 500,000 euros to Italian national tax agency. The lawyers for the duo immediately said they would appeal. Dolce&Gabbana fashion house was accused of having transferred control of their brands to a shell company, located in Luxembourg, in 2004 and 2005 to avoid paying taxes in Italy.
