hogs
it's a soccer metaphor. To "dribble" means having possession of the ball and running whilst not letting anyone else get hold of it. The Italians, being soccer-obsessed, use "dribblare" for all sorts of other things. "Hogs" is my attempt. Others may have better suggestions.

I think the source text may mean that someone received a "communication" (could be a letter, an email, a phone call) but hung on to it without passing it to anyone else.

dodge communication (in the sense of avoid, shirk, get out of the way of)
not knowing the context, I tend to interpret the term like that. It will be up to the asker to decide which of the suggestions submitted fits into his text.

sidesteps
Tom is on the right lines, although he hasn't quite got the right verb, and Lise isn't far off either.
The phrase means that the transaction escaped attention ("slipped through the media/communications net" or even "sidestepped the message" if "comunicazione" refers to a specific message) and went through unnoticed.

My 2 cts...
Normally aboard a sailing dinghy you "duck" under the boom while tacking, i.e. you try not to be hit on your head...
