Thanks for the link.

I hope he's being more careful with his Italian tax arrangements than D&G have been!

Maybe he is now more careful, but he wasn't always and he certainly has form in dodgy deals:

In 1996, Giorgio Armani received a nine-month suspended sentence and was fined $64,000 for paying off tax authorities in exchange for favorable audits. Mr. Armani admitted to having paid the bribes.

Mr Armani did not venture whether his conviction for tax evasion in 1996, when he was given a nine-month suspended jail sentence and fined £40,000 after bribing tax officials to perform "friendly" audits, had played any part in the formation of his anti-consumerist philosophy.
