Chiara Ferragni, Balocco, and Consumers: The Dispute Reignites

Chiara Ferragni, Balocco, and consumers, the dispute reignites. The lawyers of the confectionery industry Balocco are preparing the appeal to the Court of Appeals against the decree of the first section of the Civil Court of Turin that judged the communication campaign for the "Pink Christmas" pandoro signed by the influencer Chiara Ferragni to be incorrect. Judge Gabriella Ratti partially accepted the appeal presented by the associations Codacons, Adusbef, and Users of Radio Television Services, "but rejected the request to correspond one million and 500 thousand euros as compensation for money," Balocco specifies. The appeal to the Court of Appeals concerns that part in which "with a partial investigation, the Court limited itself to resuming the content of the decision of the Agcm (authority for competition and market, ed) already challenged by Balocco in front of the Regional Court of Lazio". The confectionery industry, which is based in Fossano (Cuneo), had turned to the administrative judges of Lazio in mid-February considering "unfair" the measure of the Agcm, saying it was "determined to prove to have operated correctly" and trusting "that the measure will be annulled". Fedez, the new single life: the photos between exclusive clubs, luxury cars, and blondes (but he has not signed the separation). What Codacons said: "If Balocco will not accept our requests to compensate with a spontaneous gesture the users deceived by the case of the pink Christmas pandoro and to make a donation in favor of the Regina Margherita Hospital of Turin, we will propose an incidental appeal to again ask for a donation of one and a half million to the hospital and counter the appeal announced today by the company". This was stated by Codacons, Adusbef, and Radio Television Users Associations, commenting on the announcement by Balocco of an appeal to the Court of Appeals against the sentence of the Court of Turin that ascertained the unfair practice put in place by the company. Just to illustrate to the press the important sentence of the court, analyze its repercussions on the investigation opened by the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office for aggravated fraud against Chiara Ferragni and present a new compensatory action in favor of citizens who purchased the pandoro, the three associations have called for tomorrow an online conference reserved for journalists and buyers of the pink Christmas Balocco, to which the same Balocco and Chiara Ferragni were invited to participate. The refund: The associations Codacons, Association of Radio Television Service Users, and Adusbef are ready for "a new collective action aimed - on the basis of the sentence of the Court of Turin that ascertains the illicit acts committed by Balocco - to obtain for about 290,000 consumers who purchased the Pink Christmas pandoro the refund of 5.69 euros, equal to the difference between the cost of the traditional Balocco pandoro and the one signed Ferragni". Making a quick calculation, the figure is approximately 1 million and 650 thousand euros. The lawyers of the three consumer associations will illustrate the initiative tomorrow in an online press conference to which "the same company, Chiara Ferragni, and consumers who purchased the Pink Christmas pandoro were invited to participate".
