Another link has been added to the "chain" of problems after the scandal for the charity campaign and cooperation with the "Balocco" candy company.

According to Italian media, Chiara is officially under investigation by the Milan prosecutor's office on charges of serious fraud. How did you get to the legal charges for Chiara Ferragani?

The story became public in December, where some facts about the fraud with the charity campaign between Chiara and the "Balocco" company came out 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.  

The Milan prosecutor's office says that the president of the company, Alessandra Balocco, is also under investigation.

Chiara reacted to this issue, even after the famous video where she apologized in tears. She stated that: "I am calm because I have always acted in good faith and I am sure that this will emerge from the ongoing investigations. I have complete faith in the activity of the judiciary and immediately made myself available with my lawyers to cooperate and clarify every detail of what happened."
