Italian influencer Chiara Ferragni, with 29.5 million Instagram followers, is now under investigation for aggravated fraud after misleading claims that sales of a limited edition pandoro Christmas cake would fund a children's hospital. This comes after she was fined 1 million euros by Italy's anti-trust authority last month. The scandal has raised questions about the relationship between influencers and the products they promote, especially when claims of charitable donations are involved. Ferragni has apologized and pledged to donate 1 million euros to the hospital, but maintains that she acted in good faith and plans to challenge the fine.
