The Canadian press’s CTV News is reporting that two Edmonton men who had been under arrest in the Dominican Republic suspect of being part of an international drug trafficking network were found in possession of stolen Ferraris. The two men had maintained their innocence from drug trafficking and were allowed to return to Canada.
Known as the Pivot Airlines ordeal, the crew and passengers had been under house arrest in the Dominican Republic for eight months and later after international pressures they were released from trial charges and allowed to return to Canada. The crew had reported 210 kilograms of cocaine on their 50-seat jet.
As reported, the two high-end sports cars — a 2017 Ferrari 488 and a 2023 Ferrari F8 Tributo — had both been reported stolen in Ontario, had fraudulent Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) and were re-registered in Alberta.
