Oct.24 (GMM) A Modena court has confirmed that sabotage against Ferrari did take place prior to last year's Monaco grand prix.
The development is the latest in the protracted scandal of 2007, involving accused saboteur and spy Nigel Stepney.
British engineer Stepney, who was sacked by Ferrari, was named by the Modena magistrate as most likely to have instigated the sabotage, which involved placing white powder in the fuel tanks of the Monaco-bound F2007 cars.
The court report, referred to by the Spanish newspaper Diario Sport, said the powder put in the cars could have caused an engine failure.
Stepney's lawyer was quoted as saying the accusations are "vague and inexact".
