More than three years ago, the North Zealand Police seized a Ferrari 488 Spider. Today, it has been confiscated with a price tag of one million.
North Zealand Police are preparing to sell a Ferrari 488 Spider, which was confiscated in a case of reckless driving.
The car is expected to be sold at auction for at least 1 million kroner.
This is stated by B2B Auctions , which is selling the car for the police.
This Ferrari was recalled at the very beginning of the stricter rules for crazy driving, which came into effect on March 31, 2021.
Two days later, a speeding car was seized on the Frederikssund Motorway near Smorum by the police.
A 61-year-old man was stopped by a patrol car after his speed was measured at 210 km/h. This is the same as speeding. And the car has also been confiscated.
He had just picked up the car from a leasing company that morning and later explained in court that he tried to stay below 200 km/h, but that he was unsuccessful.
Since then, the car has been in the police's custody for more than three years. The decision to confiscate it was delayed due to the legal process.
But in October, the High Court ruled that the car should be confiscated. Since the sports car was leased through Formula Leasing, it can now be sold at auction. The car is being offered through B2B Auctions, where interested parties can see pictures and a video of it.
It also appears from the ad text that the car has not been serviced during its stay with the police.
The original value of the car was significantly higher than what the police now expect to receive in the treasury.
According to the verdict, the defendant entered into a leasing agreement that valued the Ferrari at over 2 million kroner.
The former user of the car explained in court that driving a Ferrari was his great hobby, even though the leasing fee of over 20,000 kroner per month exceeded half of his net income in kroner.
The case is part of a larger effort against speeding, which has led to the confiscation of several thousand vehicles since the law change. Examples include a Norwegian-owned Lamborghini that was sold for 1.9 million kroner after it was measured at 228 km/h on the Hirtshals motorway.
Drunk driving includes a number of offences, including driving with a blood alcohol level above 2.0, negligent homicide under aggravating circumstances and particularly reckless driving. The rules allow for the confiscation of the vehicle, regardless of whether the owner was behind the wheel.
The sale of the Ferrari marks yet another example of how the law is being used in practice to eliminate reckless driving.
Because of this, a celebrity has lost his Audi Q7, just as an Iraqi living in Norway has had to hand over his Lamborghini Huracan to the Danish state. Read more about it here .
