DETROIT –– A Michigan insurance company insists it’s still not getting justice from the Justice Department.
The Associated Press reports that the Justice Department is still refusing to pay $750,000 to a Michigan insurance company for a stolen Ferrari F50 that was recovered, but then was wrecked while being driven by an FBI agent in Kentucky. The Justice Department has refused to release many documents to the insurance company about the incident involving the car that was stolen from a dealership in Rosemont, Pa.
A hearing on the matter is set for June 13 in Detroit.
The Justice Department claimed in a lawsuit filed by the Southfield, Mi. insurance company, Motors Insurance, that it was immune to tort claims when law enforcement possesses certain goods, AP reported.
The rare car was stolen in 2003 and recovered five years later in Kentucky, AP reported. It became evidence in an ongoing probe.
In May 2009, FBI agent Fred Kingston was moving the car when he lost control and crashed into a curb.
