The report filed today by the Gdf in the Prosecutor's Office in Milan on the case of the pandoro designed by Chiara Ferragni and produced by Balocco could change the accusatory perspective of the investigation, currently without suspects and a crime.
From what has been learned, due to a series of emails valorised in the documents acquired in the Antitrust offices, the hypothesis of a crime, yet to be formulated, could no longer be fraud in trade but rather fraud .
This morning the investigators of the Economic and Financial Police Unit of the Gdf of Milan filed a first note, which will also be followed by a series of attachments, to the deputy prosecutor Eugenio Fusco.
An information regarding the pandoro case, an affair that has already led to a huge fine for the entrepreneur and for the Cuneo company , which baked the Christmas dessert "Pink Christmas", for misleading advertising regarding charity.
In these hours the Milanese investigators will have to evaluate the new perspective offered by the Gdf's annotation which valorises, in particular, some emails, already acquired by the Competition Authority, which were exchanged to plan the pandoro promotion campaign.
Therefore, it is likely that the crime of fraud will be hypothesized and that the first entries in the register of suspects will soon be made .
From what has been known, the investigation will have to evaluate the issues of alleged illicit profit and damage, in this case to consumers , elements necessary to establish the hypothesis of fraud. A hypothesis that is not easy to dispute, but which investigators are working on.
In the meantime, some prosecutor's offices, which in recent days, after the Codacons reports, opened similar files without any hypothesis of crime or suspects, have contacted the Milanese prosecutors announcing that they will send the documents to the Lombardy capital.
Among other things, in the Milanese investigation, after the chapter of the Balocco pandoro but also of the Easter eggs produced by Dolci Preziosi, similar cases will be analyzed in which the sale of the current product with the Ferragni brand was proposed by the influencer with solidarity purposes.
Among these there should also be the one relating to the Trudi doll, which has been discussed in recent days.
