Pandorogate is a fraud scandal surrounding Italian influencer Chiara Ferragni following revelations that she had promoted products claiming proceeds would go to charity while embezzling profits. The name is derived from pandoro, an Italian cake promoted by Ferragni. The scandal, first uncovered by journalist Selvaggia Lucarelli, involves multiple investigations into Ferragni's charitable partnerships with millions of euros in alleged unjust profits identified. The revelations created backlash in Italy against Ferragni. Over a million euros in fines were imposed on her and her companies while an indictment for aggravated fraud was obtained in January 2025 with a trial expected in September 2025. The scandal led to the enactment of the Ferragni Law in Italy to regulate promotion by influencers with over a million followers to prevent future crimes of fraud and false advertising.
