The Milan prosecutor's office has closed the investigations against Chiara Ferragni and other people involved in the scandal of the Balocco company and the "Dolci Preziosi" Easter eggs.
In addition to the main protagonist in this case with Italian justice, investigations have also been closed for Fabio Damato, her former close associate, Alessandra Balocco, the owner of the company that produces the dessert "Pandoro" and Franco Cannillo of "Dolci Preziosi".
"Chiara believes in her innocence and the fact that everything will be clarified soon," said the influencer's lawyers, Giuseppe Iannaccone and Marcello Bana.
"We believe that this matter has no criminal significance and that the controversial aspects have already been addressed and resolved within Agcom." We will start discussions with the prosecutors as soon as possible and we are convinced of a positive conclusion to this case."
A reminder on the matter at hand:
The story became public in December, where some facts about the fraud with the charity campaign between Chiara and the "Balocco" company appeared in the Italian media.
As claimed at the beginning of the campaign, the panettones would be sold in the market at a value of 9 euros (while the normal price is no more than 5 euros), while from the sale of each dessert a part would be donated to the hospital in Turin.
When the scandal was revealed, the economic and financial crime authorities in Italy discovered that the "Balocco" company had actually made only one transaction of 50,000 euros in the hospital's account. This happened a month before the cooperation campaign between Chiara and the candy company started.
