Court Closes 'Pandoro Gate' Case, Chiara Ferragni Cleared Under Article 531

She presents the ruling as validation of good‑faith mistakes, preparing a careful return.

Overview

  • The court declared the offense extinct and issued a proscioglimento under article 531 after complainants withdrew their querelas following compensation.
  • Ferragni insists there was no basis for fraud, saying she stayed largely silent during the probe out of fear her words could be used against her.
  • She acknowledges managerial naiveté in a charitable initiative, accepting responsibility for poor handling rather than criminal intent.
  • The affair brought significant reputational and economic damage, including halted contracts and follower losses reported by Italian media.
  • Ferragni describes two difficult years marked by a public split with Fedez and feelings of abandonment, and says she will now recount the experience without anger.
