The Codacons raises the stakes against Chiara Ferragni by setting up «a collective action against the influencer on behalf of all parties harmed by the alleged misconduct under investigation by the judiciary, aimed at getting consumers who purchased the Balocco 'Pink Christmas' pandoro reimbursed for the additional amounts paid».
The Codacons is the association from whose complaints the pandoro-gate scandal and the subsequent judicial investigation for aggravated fraud were born».
«With our action - the association explains - we aim to get refunds for a total of 1.65 million euros for buyers of the Ferragni-branded pandoro, an amount calculated on the over 290,000 pandoros sold in 2022 (out of a total of 362,577 pieces marketed) and equal to the difference between the price of the 'normal' Balocco pandoro (3.68 euros) and the Ferragni-branded one (9.37 euros), an increase in value that, thanks to the influencer's posts, would have made it seem that the price increase of 5.69 euros was the value of the individual buyer's charity donation».
Even in the absence of a receipt, all consumers who purchased the 'Pink Christmas' pandoro - continues the Codacons - can join our action and ask Chiara Ferragni and Balocco for a refund of the additional sums paid, delegating the Codacons to represent them as the injured party in the investigation of the Milan Public Prosecutor's Office».
