Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are in the press again but not for the right reason. Yesterday the New York Times revealed that tomorrow the designers will find out whether prosecutors have gathered enough evidence to push for a full blown criminal trial against them for alleged tax evasion and fraud. According to reports last year, the pair are said to have not paid taxes on more than $1 billion of their income.

The newspaper indicated that if a criminal trial was pursued at the pair were found guilty of fraud, a maximum sentence of five to seven years could be imposed.
