The interview of Corriere della Sera with Chiara Ferragni "is a very serious matter, it represents a degradation of Italian journalism that leaves us perplexed and astonished, because we, the guardians of consumers in information and press, believe in it a lot". It is not sent to say the president of Codacons, Carlo Rienzi, who contacts Adnkronos to express some considerations about the interview given today by the influencer. "The interview is just the preview of what will happen during Fazio's broadcast, of which we have asked for the suspension and seizure", thunders Rienzi.
Ferragnez, fake separation? The expert: "If it was a marketing operation, she would gain consensus"
"Lies, falsities and slanders"
"Within a moment of information aimed at the public - he states - it is allowed to spread a defense of a person accused of serious crimes which we believe is full of lies, falsities and slanders against those who have acted, like the Antitrust, carrying out their functions for the restoration of legality against such blatant scams". "Ferragni - complains Rienzi - continues to say that all the rottenness that came out on the pandoro-gate should be summarized in a 'communication error' and that in the caption that she had put on the pandoro there would not be written that the proceeds would go to charity, so she would be in perfect good faith".
The attack on journalists
"How is it possible that in the face of these lies that also contrast with documents acquired from the investigation, journalists are not able to at least question, making good information to readers, that on the contrary the caption on the pandoro was extremely clear and unequivocal?", sinks the president of Codacons.
The evidence
"We have the evidence acquired with access to the documents that no amount derived from the purchases of the pandori was destined for these purposes - Rienzi states - so it's all false and such as to alter the purchasing ability first and to donate then of the consumer". He explains: "The transfer of 50,000 euros from Balocco was in May and therefore previous and has no causal relationship with the sales of the pandoro; it is not a payment resulting from the generosity and charity of a considerable number of consumers who instead bought the pandoro victims of a blatant deception".
The trial
On today's interview Rienzi specifies: "I am not surprised by Ferragni's position that she has to defend herself rightly, the problem is the management of the duty of a publisher and two journalists to provide complete, correct and not biased information especially where there is a criminal trial in progress and a pending administrative judgment".
The interview at "Che tempo che fa"
Rienzi then recalls that Codacons has asked for the seizure of the 'Che tempo che fa' show, where the influencer is announced as a guest on Sunday, March 3 because "we fear the same shameful mockery of Italians, this time through the listeners of Nove tv". In conclusion, "we ask for respect for the readers of an important newspaper like Corriere della Sera as well as for the viewers of Nove tv, because it is not possible to allow a person subject to a criminal trial for serious crimes committed against 300,000 consumers and a sanctioning procedure of the highest independent authority, Agcom, to be able to have the occasion even indirectly to profess their own version in the absence of a real contradiction".
