After the sentence of the Turin court, a back and forth began between the consumer associations And Balocco. The judge of the Piedmontese capital confirmed that what happened with the “Pink Christmas” pandoro advertisement could be considered an incorrect practice, not the simple misunderstanding he has often talked about Chiara Ferragni. And now that a judge has also recognized what the Antitrust identified last December, consumer associations are going on the attack and demanding that pandoro buyers be compensated.
“If Balocco does not accept our requests for compensate with a spontaneous gesture deceived users from the case of the ‘Pink Christmas’ pandoro and make a donation to the Regina Margherita hospital in Turin, we will propose cross-appeal to ask again for a donation of one and a half million to the hospital and counter the appeal announced today (yesterday, ed.) by the company“, is what Codacons, Adusbef and Radio and Television User Associations stated in the press conference. But the Fossano confectionery company has no intention of giving effect to these requests and with a note makes its position clear.
Balocco was also invited to the online press conference scheduled for today, along with Chiara Ferragni, but the company explained her absence, unlike the influencer, “considering demagogic deal with the ‘Pandoro Pink Christmas’ affair in a virtual arena, which is also pending litigation before the Judicial Authority“. The company’s CEO, Alessandra Balocco, like Ferragni and his manager, Fabio Maria Damato, is under investigation for fraud aggravated by impaired defense by the Milan prosecutor’s office. And in relation to the requests made by Codacons and other organizations, he explains that the donation to which they refer is not “may be the subject of litigation brought by parties, such as the associations to which it responds, who do not have no title to advance such claims, as correctly highlighted by the Court of Turin which rejected the unfounded injunction and compensation claims“.
While Balocco announced an appeal against the decision of the Piedmontese court and responded to the associations, Ferragni continues to remain silent.
