The Milan public prosecutor’s office demanded a prison sentence of one year and eight months for the Italian entrepreneur Chiara Ferragni in court on Tuesday morning. The background is the so-called ‘Pandoro Gate’, as the Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera reports. The influencer is accused of serious fraud.
The Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office made the request to Judge Ilio Mannucci Pacini during the preliminary hearing. The subject of the proceedings are the Pandoro from the confectionery manufacturer Balocco and the Easter eggs from the Dolci Preziosi brand. Ferragni’s agency had advertised these confections. They were associated with two different charity campaigns.
“Everything we did was done in good faith. None of us enriched ourselves,” Ferragni said spontaneously in the courtroom. This emerges from a report by the Italian news agency Ansa.
Ferragni’s defense will speak at the next hearing on December 5th. The prosecution also demanded a one-year prison sentence for Francesco Cannillo, the president of Cerealitalia-ID SpA. A year and eight months were requested for Fabio Damato, a former Ferragni employee.
