With De Tomaso finally biting the dust just days ago, reports are flying that the company’s chairman, Gian Mario has been arrested facing allegations claiming that $9.2 million in public funds were misused when De Tomaso tried to turn the company around. The reports come from Reuters and also state that another two former employees from De Tomaso have been arrested with the man once responsible for leading De Tomaso’s human resource department being one of them. Amidst the allegations include ones stating that these employees may have unfairly received public funds and then transferred the funds directly into their personal bank accounts. These claims are yet another thorn in the brand’s recent fall from grace and despite many hoping that De Tomaso could turn these misfortunes around, it seems that the company will never be a part of the automotive industry again. The claimed misuse of funds are actually similar to those of former Lotus CEO Dany Bahar who is also being investigated, and if Mario and the other two employees being investigated are found to be guilty, then prison time could be in order. .
17 comments: De Tomaso chairman arrested amidst allegations of public funds (...) I doubt that it will not be affected by these issues and allegations regarding the chairman of the company.
 Do they have investigations on this matter? Did they make background check on the chairman of this company?
 What do you think about this company? Do you think it can survive for this issue? Will they give a refund for this company?
 I agree. The reputation and trust within the company are completely lost by this issue and allegations on its CEO.
 He’s not responsible for his position. He placed the company on a situation that might be a reason of its bankruptcy.
