Fake Ferrari gang is caught
Police have broken up a ring of counterfeit Ferrari makers in Sicily who were selling the bogus cars for just £15,000 each – about a tenth of the price of a real one.
Fifteen people have been accused of producing the vehicles and selling them to enthusiasts that are aware that they are buying a fake.
The body workers, who police described as “very able”, created the cars using altered components from other vehicles as well as a limited number of original items.
Police have confiscated 21 cars, 14 of which had already been sold and 7 of which were still in production in Palermo.
