After Lithuania Probe
Bono-linked company pays extra taxes

Vilnius - Muslimchronicle
A company linked to U2 frontman Bono has voluntarily paid 53,000 euros after an investigation into tax evasion in Lithuania, authorities said Friday.
The singer, whose real name is Paul David Hewson, was an investor in the Maltese company which bought a shopping centre in the Baltic eurozone member's city of Utena.
The company that owns the mall "paid 34,000 euros ($41,000) in profit tax for 2012 and 19,000 euros in penalty fees for the delay," State Tax Inspectorate spokeswoman Ruta Asadauskaite told AFP.
She said the investigation into Nude Estates 2 started in 2017 and was finished "at the end of last year" after which the tax authorities recommended that the company pay up.
The leaked Paradise Papers in November revealed that Bono owned a stake in a Maltese holding company that bought the mall, via a Lithuanian holding company, in 2007.
At the time, Bono, a well known anti-poverty campaigner, said that he was "a passive minority investor" and had been assured that the company was fully tax compliant.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
