investigating alleged tax evasion by Italian jewelry and luxury
goods brand Bulgari say the company used a series of overseas
companies to dodge the taxman.
Bulgari is suspected of having hidden from the authorities
some three billion euros of revenue from 2006 to 2013.
Investigators believe it did this by reallocating its
global profit margin to Switzerland, the Netherlands and Ireland
through foreign subsidiaries.
Ireland was identified as the "final destination" in the
group's tax planning, they say.
Paolo and Nicola Bulgari were among 13 people sent to trial
on Tuesday for the alleged tax evasion.
