While a new chapter enters the aggravated fraud investigation against Chiara Ferragni, namely the analysis of possible fake followers, in the crisis between the influencer and her husband Fedez, who has left home, the first to speak, intercepted by reporters, is the rapper. No word on the 'merits' of a 'story' he considers private, even if their life is exposed 'to the public', and above all he stands firm in defense of the serenity of the children.
The words
'Anyone can talk about what they want, I don't care. I have other priorities in my life and they are my children at this moment,' Fedez replied, to the microphones of Pomeriggio 5, to those who hypothesize, especially with comments on social media, that the news circulating since yesterday about the separation is nothing more than a new chapter in the Ferragnez saga, a narrative updated to shift the focus from the scandal of selling products with deceptive advertising on charity. 'Do you think it makes sense for me to come and tell you about the problems of my life with two children? Do you think I want to play on the skin of my children?' replied the singer, leaving a friend's house and adding: 'I am exposed to the public and I accept the fact that people make assumptions about my story because I am a public figure, but that I start to respond on the merits...'
While both he and she have no longer posted content on Instagram and Ferragni should say her piece on everything, including the investigation, from Fabio Fazio on March 3, in defense of the digital entrepreneur in the midst of a media storm, her sister Valentina has sided, but only to confirm that she 'will speak'. Both, meanwhile, seem to have already started to move, speaking with their respective lawyers, if it should come to a separation lawsuit. Meanwhile, in the investigation coordinated by Deputy Eugenio Fusco and prosecutor Cristian Barilli, with a series of cases at the center, including the most well-known and significant of the pandoro and Easter eggs, another theme emerges: the possible check on the millions of followers, almost 30 in total, that appear on the influencer's Instagram profile. Analysis to go and see if there are, and in what quantity, 'fake' followers, perhaps purchased in packages. If such a scenario were to be ascertained, the investigators, in fact, could make evaluations on the contractual relationships between the influencer, who presented herself with 30 million users following her, and the companies.
The investigations
It will have to be verified whether the parties, within the commercial contracts related to the cases under investigation, were correctly balanced and whether relevant information, such as those on followers, real or fake, was inflated or omitted. With distorted effects, perhaps, on the fees paid. The weight that the entrepreneur herself has on consumers when she sells a product presenting herself with so many followers must also be considered. The 'emphasis' on the charitable purpose in the promotional campaign on the 'Pink Christmas' pandoro, wrote the General Prosecutor's Office of the Cassation, 'amplified by the means of communication' used, such as social media, has led 'consumers into error', who have 'believed' to 'contribute to the charitable purpose', the 'seriousness' of which was also guaranteed by the credibility of an influencer with about 30 million followers. Codacons also filed another complaint with the prosecutors about the Ferragni case on 'fake profiles and fraud', while in the investigations on alleged scams in sales, a witness who is considered very relevant, a sort of 'key witness', could be heard. Investigators and prosecutors are currently analyzing the documents collected, such as emails and messages taken from devices and contracts and later they could summon the suspects. Ferragni, in hypothesis, could also decide to defend herself only with a written memory.
