Suspended sentences for Dolce and Gabbana

Fashion design duo Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were handed a suspended prison sentence of one year and eight months for hiding hundreds of millions of euro from the tax authorities.

The designers, who are nearly as famous as the stars they dress, were not present in court in Milan and have denied the charges.

Public prosecutor Gaetano Ruta had asked for two and a half years.
