Updated Friday November 1, 12.55pm: Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana will not stand trial for alleged tax evasion.

Judge Simone Luerti decided this afternoon, after four and a half hours of deliberating, that there is no case to answer for the designers.

"I am very pleased with this decision," Giuseppe Bana, lawyer of Dolce and Gabbana's accountant, Luciano Patelli, said. "The judge prevented this from going too far, it's an investigation that should never have been initiated in the first place."
