Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli facing tax probe

(ANSA) - Milan, September 29 - Prosecutors have requested a six-month extension of their probe into past taxes involving designer Miuccia Prada and her husband Patrizio Bertelli, chief executive officer of Italian fashion house Prada, the company said Monday.
    The investigation follows complaints from Italy's tax revenue agency alleging tax avoidance through a subsidiary company whose registered office is in Amsterdam.
    About 470 million euros are involved.
    An investigating judge will decide whether to allow the probe to continue.
    Prada SpA said that both Miuccia Prada and Bertelli had made voluntary disclosures last January to the national tax agency.
