When the ride costs € 600,000 Ferrari ...

This type of activity at Maranello and its environs is pretty recent, but has proved immediately successful, especially among foreigners. We are talking about the hiring of Ferrari (by private companies) for a ride in the city of engines for excellence. A little 'as the gondola ride in Venice. But beyond the controversy of the residents (who see the streets flooded with flaming meteors) and concerns about safety (speed limits are close ...), the tour in Emilia Ferrari may hold some nasty surprises to the same customers .

It 's the case of Alejandro Junco de la Vega, a wealthy Mexican businessman who has rented a Ferrari 599 to give a sportier flavor to his trip to Italy: after enjoying a nice test drive among the hills of Modena and Bologna and to have stopped in a restaurant to satisfy the pleasures of the throat, the man returned the jewel of the Prancing Horse and met again in Mexico.

But here comes the fun part: the bank statement arrived, De la Vega noted that the charterer has the well-charged $ 800,000, approximately 600,000 euro, instead of the 7,000 euro agreed. Immediate reporting to the Italian Embassy, which comes in a videoconference to the police in Bologna, which begins immediately on the trail dell'imbroglione, a 41 year-old owner of the company that rents luxury cars.

He used the credit card codes to simulate the rental of a host of luxury car brand Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley and Aston Martin, that hardly a single person can rent a few days. For the charterer are immediately taken in handcuffs on charges of improper use of credit cards, forgery of private writing (to have altered the lease agreement) and receiving stolen goods.

A loose his girlfriend and brother, accused "only" receiving stolen goods. Findings, still in progress, may shed new light on other scams in the past carried out against foreigners and Italian fans, perhaps to the small difference between the agreed price and then paid the price, they gave up or did not all'imbroglio case.
