The most popular Instagrammer in Italy is living her most complicated days. Not only because of their separation from Fedez, with whom he had been for seven years and has two children in common, but because his nightmare with the Prosecutor's Office continues. After being sanctioned for having promoted a fraudulent charity campaign with a Christmas candy, the authorities have pulled the thread and found more suspicious movements in the activities of Chiara Ferragni. This Thursday they presented the 'Operation Oreo'.
Ferragni signed an advertising agreement with the famous chocolate and cream cookies in 2020 in a campaign whose profits would go to charities in the fight against Covid. From the brand, Mondelez Italia, they explained that Chiara's work was twofold: on the one hand, she designed a limited edition packaging for Oreo Double; and she also designed a capsule collection of clothing linked to the “Free Your Oreo Style” contest.
The company assures that they only related the charity campaign to the first part, that is, the cookies, while the second, the clothing, was intended for auction and not for sale: “It was never intended to be an act of charity with this campaign,” they say. The Instagrammer, however, did sell these garments through her social networks and promoted them along with the cookies and her campaign, without specifying to her followers that only the profits from the sale of the former would go to the research against Covid. Thus, many of their followers believed that they were supporting research against Covid by purchasing both the cookies and the clothes.
This Thursday, the members of the Gdf Economic and Financial Police went to the headquarters of Mondelez Italia in Milan with an order to hand over documents. The agents inspect the contracts and emails exchanged by all those involved in the initiative in order to call witnesses and suspects to testify.
