Following yesterday's guilty verdict at the appeal for their ongoing tax evasion case,Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana
have vowed to once again appeal the decision at the Corte di Cassazione - Italy's supreme court.
The designers and their accountant, Luciano Patelli, were found guilty of tax evasion last June and were each sentenced to one year and eight months in prison. Yesterday's decision upheld the guilty verdict, although reduced the prison term by two months.

"I am speechless and astounded, this sentence is inexplicable," Massimo Dinoia, Dolce and Gabbana's lawyer, said immediately after the hearing. "After all, the general prosecutor already realised that there was really nothing to the case. We will surely present our appeal to the Corte di Cassazione. This is an unfair verdict and we are sure the Cassazione will reform it."
According to Italian law, however, none of the defendants will have to serve jail time as their sentences are below the two-year minimum in Italy.
