The Florentine court on Thursday sentenced the famous Italian stylist Roberto Cavalli to one year and two months in prison on probation.
According to Italian media, the designer was accused of financial fraud. Cavalli, submitting his income statement to the tax authorities, entered more than two and a half million euros of costs for the restoration of his own villa in the production costs of his own business company. The court considered this a deception of the tax authorities.
Cavalli's lawyers tried to prove that their client's villa was part of the stylist's production activities. It is here that he arranges business meetings, receptions and discussions of new clothing models.
Numerous witnesses summoned to the court adhered to the same version, but the court found these arguments unconvincing, RIA Novosti reports.
The state prosecutor demanded that the stylist be sentenced to imprisonment for up to two years.
