Duisburg – His fondness for bright-red Italian sports cars of the Ferrari brand caused a 45-year-old to have trouble with the police: he received an advertisement because he had converted his used Toyota into a deceptively real “fake Ferrari” at first glance …
The parked car caught sight of a police patrol on Monday evening in Duisburg. The car bears the trademarked Ferrari logo on the radiator hood, over the wheels, and is also widely distributed in the interior, according to a police spokesman.
A Japanese, disguised as an Italian – a case for the police: This would violate the holder’s trademark rights, which would be carefully protected, especially by noble manufacturers.
The man had to expect a fine. And restore the car to its original state. The car was seized – actually a Toyota MR2, which can be purchased used in good condition for around 10,000 euros – but not.
