Milan Court Extinguishes ‘Pandoro Gate’ Offence, Clearing Chiara Ferragni and Co‑Defendants

The judge applied Article 531, extinguishing the offence following reimbursements with subsequent withdrawal of complaints.

Overview

  • Judge Ilio Mannucci of the Milan court’s Third Criminal Section declared the offence extinguished and ordered proscioglimento.
  • Prosecutors’ charge was requalified to simple fraud, which proceeds only on complaint, and those complaints were withdrawn after reimbursements and an accord with Codacons.
  • Former manager Fabio Maria Damato and Cerealitalia president Francesco Cannillo were cleared alongside Ferragni.
  • Ferragni called the ruling the end of an ordeal, acknowledged errors made in good faith, and said she felt abandoned during a public separation from Fedez.
  • Damato described two years of extreme pain and criticized how their work was quickly erased, as coverage noted damage to Ferragni’s image, paused contracts and follower losses.
