They were fined $440.2 million for tax evasion last month by Italy’s Tax Commission.

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were denied appeal and their fashion house was slapped with a fine of $440.2 million by the Italian Tax Commission. The duo got charged for transferring control of their brands to a shell company (a company that exists but does not actually do business or have any assets) called Gado Srl in Luxembourg in 2004 and 2005. The transfer allowed the designers to avoid paying a total of $550 million in taxes to Italy.
