Thou shall not look a gift Ferrari in the mouth, a German judge taught a young Swiss man this week, after sentencing the ingrate to 22 months of probation and a $33,000 fine for torching his luxury car.
The 20-year-old and three accomplices, including an auto-dealer, destroyed a Ferrari 458 Italia the youth no longer “liked” in a 2014 arson-for-hire insurance scheme that he figured would net about $200,000.
Security cams and cell recordings captured the felonious foursome parking the Ferrari in an unpopulated area then, while its owner went for a massage nearby, setting it ablaze.
They were all quickly arrested soon thereafter.
The *unwanted* vehicle was just one of dozens the young man’s wealthy father had bought for him, and part of a portfolio of other valuable holdings the gifted lad received over the years but taken for granted.
The three cohorts who assisted him in the weird crime -- allegedly committed because the affluent perp was “short” of cash -- were also sentenced to over a year of probation each.
