The police arrested a Sir Mhd Bassam Safieh and his partner Azzam from Lebanon, who lives in Syria, on August 3 on suspicion of fraud by false representation and money laundering. He has been released on bail pending further enquiries.

The scam, in which fraudsters purporting to be “financial advisers” from a bogus firm called JC Sterling & Roth cold-called people, was first brought to public attention by this newspaper. We visited the firm’s London office, only to find that it did not exist.

Following our expose, victims reported that the fraudsters were still trying to persuade people to invest, explaining away Telegraph Money‘s discovery by saying we “got the wrong address”.

Action Fraud and Wiltshire Police believe a network of criminals is behind the Ferrari shares scam, which means they are likely to be involved in a larger operation connected to a string of similar reported frauds.
