And finally… shamborghinis

An illegal factory allegedly producing fake Ferraris and sham Lamborghinis has been shut down by police.

The father and son owners of the workshop were arrested following the raid and have been charged with industrial property offences.

According to police in the Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, the pair were advertising the fake cars for sale online for $45,000 to $60,000.

The authorities took action following a complaint from the Italian companies over the use of their branding and badges.

A number of partially-completed cars have been seized pending the pair’s trial.
