The case alleges that Dolce, Gabbana and several other company executives didn’t pay the correct taxes when they sold their Italian brands to – their own – Luxembourg-based holding company, Gado Srl. This leaves each designer with roughly €416 million in taxes to pay; a debt which sparked Gabbana to break a 3-year silence over the case via Twitter, tweeting:
“Ladri!!!” [thieves in Italian]
“They don’t know what to do to get money out of us.”
“It’s really true that in Italy they do what they want…as they please…Perhaps it would be best to leave…”
…and more.
The perpetrators? Apparently, “Ocean’s 69“, five masked robbers which were said to have “neutralized” a security guard and four employees on Friday, taking 10 pallets of Louis Vuitton loot.
Bad things happen in three, right? Dior need to keep their eyes open for this Marc Jacobs-crazed gang.
