Chiara Ferragni
Updated: Wikipedia source
Chiara Ferragni (Italian: [ˈkjaːra ferˈraɲɲi]; born 7 May 1987) is an Italian blogger and influencer. Since 2021, Ferragni has been the center of controversy as the protagonist of the Pandorogate fraud scandal in which she profited millions of euros while claiming to be raising funds for charity. In 2023, she was required to pay a €1 million fine for fraud by the Italian Competition Authority, which she initially claimed she would appeal but instead accepted responsibility. In January 2025, she was indicted on criminal charges for aggravated fraud in conjunction with the same investigation. She is facing up to five years in prison.
The Pandorogate scandal led to the passage of the Ferragni Law in Italy to prevent future fraud and false advertising by influencers.
