Italian gang's plot to steal Enzo Ferrari's body foiled | Fox News

Italian investigators working a drug and arms smuggling case say they uncovered a plot to steal the body of Enzo Ferrari from his grave and hold it for ransom.

Ferrari’s remains lay in an above-ground family tomb in the city of Modena, not far from the headquarters of the automobile company he founded in 1939. Ferrari died in 1988, age 90.

Authorities say the Sardinia-based gang had everything planned out, including an escape into the Apennine Mountains where they would hide the body until the ransom was paid, according to Motorsport.com.

But on Tuesday, 300 police and military rounded up 34 members of the gang in raids across Italy before they could pull of the gruesome heist.

Geez! I think they misunderstood the concept of old Ferraris keeping their values even with a little rot on their body.

 

incredible, I can t believe it.

 

What were they going to threaten if the ransom was not paid?
Kill him? ?? ???

 

Bury his body in a Lambo. [emoji6]

Quite a few years ago an Italian coworker told me this was becoming a big thing in Italy. Seems they decided it was far safer than kidnapping a living person.

Grandma can't rest in peace if she isn't in the family tomb or burial plot. Can't have that!

 

Unbelievable. Truth is stranger than fiction

 

Just put him in this program---
