How to remove maven repo transitive dependency correctly using gradle

When creating my project, the following error occurs:

UNEXPECTED TOP-LEVEL EXCEPTION:
    com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lorg/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder;
        at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger.readSortableTypes(DexMerger.java:594)
        at com.android.dx.merge.DexMerger.getSortedTypes(DexMerger.java:552)

        at com.android.dx.command.Main.main(Main.java:103)

As I understand it, this is because I have several libraries that depend on slf4j. Dependencies in the build.gradle file:

dependencies {
    compile project(':libraries:some-sdk')
    compile files('libs/some-library.jar')
    compile 'com.some-module:some-artifact:X.X.X'
    compile 'com.github.tony19:logback-android-classic:1.1.1-3'
}

I know that the logback-android-classic dependency is a problem because it depends on slf4j, and if I comment that my project build is beautiful. According to other sources, I found that this is usually solved by eliminating the transitive dependency as follows:

compile('com.github.tony19:logback-android-classic:1.1.1-3') {
    exclude group: 'org.slf4j'

However, even after cleaning and restoring, I still get the error.

UPDATE: Running dependencyInsight looking for slf4j, as dmahapatro suggested, did not produce any results:

$ gradle -q dependencyInsight --dependency slf4j --configuration compile
No dependencies matching given input were found in configuration ':main:compile'
