If you've been to the beach in southern Spain, you have been offered
fake "brand-name" handbags, watches etc. by the Senegalese
"lookie-lookie" men. Now it seems things got a tad more serious as
other criminals managed to produce fake Ferraris for sale.
Spain's National Police
have caught up with a gang of criminals in Valencia who have been
producing cheap fakes of high-end vehicles, selling them for a fraction
of the price of the real item.
If a Ferrari is out of your reach, no problem, this bunch came up with a
novel way to get around it - they made cheap imitations.
In two custom workshops, the gang managed to knock up their own "luxury"
vehicles, with the plan of selling them on the Internet. And cheap at
the price too. You could have paid around €40,000 instead of €200,000
for the real thing.
According to officials, the gang produced a fake vehicle by adding
home-made fiber glass panels to the chassis of another, more ordinary
car. In this way, they managed to produce copies of vehicles like
Ferraris and Aston Martins.
