The Milan prosecutor's office's investigation into Chiara Ferragni's charity has been entrusted to Eugenio Fusco's anti-fraud pool. The financial police will carry out the investigation. And in addition to the Balocco Pandoro, the investigation could also extend to Easter eggs. If elements emerge that could form a basis for an allegation, the alleged crime could be fraud or commercial fraud. Meanwhile, Selvaggia Lucarelli returns to the allegations against the couple. The Ferragnezs, Lucarelli says, “buy their reputation for the camera.” Then there is another answer to Fedez, after the one about charity: “Are you calling me a non-journalist?” I thank him because he always told him all sorts of things. So by calling me that he wants to ennoble me. After all, he's not a singer, but that doesn't mean I think it's an insult.
reputation for sale
Lucarelli speaks in an interview with Corriere della Sera. And he tells Renato Franco that the couple's mechanism “is one of their privileges.” If you don't have money, you have to earn your reputation. However, if you have a lot of money, you can also buy your reputation. With bank transfers to the camera you can replace civic engagement, the sweat of battles, real activism.” In her response to the controversy: “She defends herself, he attacks.” Ferragni has chosen the path of sacrifice that is his trademark. Fedez strikes me as battered and more prone to aggression. In general, it seems to me that they are also ill-advised.” The commentator does not believe that there were “miscommunications”: “On the contrary, the communication was scientific.” The words were carefully chosen to resonate with those who bought the products “To cause such confusion.”
A meeting of egos
Regarding Meloni's words against the influencer, Lucarelli says that the Prime Minister has captured a widespread sentiment. Because in public opinion “there is intolerance towards this constant display – of rich houses and clothes worth thousands of euros – displayed with an arrogance that indicates a lack of empathy towards others”. While the one between Fedez and Ferragni was “a meeting of souls and egos and it seems to me that there is neither of them who occasionally lets the other take a step back.” Both are drawn into a wild race without ever looking back and facing each other ask if they did something wrong. While the Laneus tracksuit that the influencer wore in the apology video ended up selling out, it turned out that the operation actually earned the company 650,000 euros, despite Balocco's notifications to the antitrust office. That could be 230,000 if the fine is paid.
The loss of followers
Meanwhile, La Verità today talks about Ferragni's followers on Instagram. From December 14th to 20th, the influencer lost 76,512. A small thing compared to the almost thirty million who follow her. But there is more. Firstly, because it is the largest loss the account has ever recorded. And over the last year, the number of followers has increased by 4.4%, while for this type of account the average growth every twelve months is 11.4%. Additionally, according to Hype Auditor, 23.7% of accounts are “suspicious.” Accounts with more than 1,500 followers account for 18.9%. 4.8% are bots or people who use certain services to buy likes, comments and followers. According to InsightIQ, the proportion of suspicious accounts is higher. And according to the newspaper, an average of the results shows that eight million Ferragnis followers are “unclear profiles”.
FdI and Giorgia Meloni
And while Fratelli d'Italia suggests taking away the Ambrogino d'oro from the couple, Il Foglio publishes a comment from Meloni: “As long as Chiara Ferragni is the opposition in Italy, we can sleep peacefully.” Meanwhile, the party rejoices: “Dear Chiara was hit and sunk.”
