A Milan trial for alleged tax
evasion by popular Italian singer-songwriter Biagio Antonacci
got underway in earnest on Tuesday, with evidence from a finance
police officer.
The prosecution alleges that Antonacci evaded around 3.5
million euros in taxes between 2004 and 2008 with the use of two
Italian companies and another based abroad.
A tax expert gave evidence for the defence, saying that
the pop star had rectified his position with the Italian inland
revenue, l'Agenzia delle Entrate, following a deal with the
agency in 2012.
