Gianluca Rossignolo, a former Turin entrepreneur and the owner of De Tomaso Automobili, was arrested in Montenegro's capital, Podgorica. The Attorney General of the Republic of Turin had issued an arrest warrant for him. Rossignolo was sentenced to eight years and one month in prison for his role in the fraudulent bankruptcy of the De Tomaso car company, which went bankrupt in 2012. He also used false surety policies to the detriment of the Ministry of Labor and Social Policies and the Tuscany region, which had disbursed loans totaling more than ten million euros. Founded in Modena in 1959 by Italian-Argentine driver Alejandro de Tomaso, the automobile manufacturer bearing his surname was among the most prized and desired in the 1960s and 1970s, thanks to a series of supercars capable of "dueling" on equal terms with Ferraris. Starting with the small and very light Vallelunga of 1964 and progressing to the Mangusta of 1966, the international fame of the small Italian-Argentine company was given to the small Italian-Argentine company by the De Tomaso Pantera, born in 1971, the car that gave De Tomaso the international limelight, resulting in the best-selling car in the company's now-completed story.
