Carabinieri police on Tuesday
dismantled a gang dedicated to armed robbery, extortion and arms
and drug trafficking in Sardinia and northern Italy, in the
process foiling a plot to steal Enzo Ferrari's body, sources
said.
Helicopters and parachute regiment officers were part of a
massive operation to execute 34 arrest warrants.
Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari's body lays to rest in a
cemetery in Modena.
Gang members had allegedly conducted several inspections of
the site in view of a robbery to obtain the payment of a ransom
for its return.
