Not only the 'branded' pandoro. Chiara Ferragni, the influencer in trouble for the charity operation with Balocco, must also answer for aggravated fraud for the Easter eggs with her brand for Dolci Preziosi and the doll in collaboration with Trudi launched on the market by the digital entrepreneur in 2019.

Ferragni also under investigation for the eggs and the doll

This is what emerges in the act that the Milan prosecutor's office has sent to the pg of the Cassation to respond to the Cuneo prosecutor's office that asks for the file on the pandoro, claiming a territorial jurisdiction that the Milanese magistrates claim because they believe there is a continuity between the alleged scams and therefore the entire file - where Ferragni is registered three times - must remain in Milan.

According to rumors, the pronouncement of the pg of the Cassation should not be long in coming. Chiara Ferragni, therefore, will have to answer for three episodes with the legal representatives of the manufacturing companies.

The Trudi doll

The Trudi-Limited Edition, a 34-centimeter doll with the features of Chiara Ferragni, was launched in 2019 at a price that recently dropped from 34.99 euros to 24.99 euros. This was the message that accompanied the project: 'Since many of you loved the Chiara Ferragni doll that we created for our wedding (with rapper Fedez, ed) we decided to create a limited edition of the Chiara Ferragni Mascot: it is now sold on The Blonde Salad and all profits will go to Stomp out bullying, a non-profit organization to fight against cyberbullying, a topic very close to my heart'.

The doll sold out just five hours after being put on the market. On the project, the Tbs Crew had released a statement specifying that 'the proceeds from the sales of this doll were donated to the 'Stomp Out Bullying' association in July 2019 and that the commitment to this association concerned only sales made on the direct e-commerce channel and not also on other channels managed by third parties'. A message that was not communicated on social media by the influencer.

The Easter eggs

The operation linked to the Dolci Preziosi Easter eggs had already come to the fore a week ago. Ferragni is also under investigation for fraud in this case. The company has clarified that it has no responsibility in the charity affair. The Milanese investigations will therefore aim to understand whether for the pandoro, which cost the influencer and Balocco a maxi fine from the Antitrust, both for the Easter eggs and for the Trudi doll, it was a presumed commercial operation by Ferragni disguised as a charity campaign.

The lawyers: 'Certain of her innocence'

'Once the Attorney General at the Cassation has identified the territorially competent Public Prosecutor, we will clarify every aspect of the three events to the designated magistrate' being 'totally certain of Chiara's absolute innocence and that this innocence will emerge from the investigations that will be conducted'. This is how Chiara Ferragni's lawyers, Giuseppe Iannaccone and Marcello Bana, comment on the news about the additional lines of investigation initiated by the Milan Prosecutor's Office. 'We are confident of the future confrontation with the judicial authority - the lawyers continue - and we hope that the media climate that has characterized the affair so far will calm down'.
