Stepney threatens to reveal ‘bodies’

(GMM) Already accused of espionage and sabotage, sacked formula one veteran Nigel Stepney has now threatened to reveal more hidden secrets about the Ferrari team.

Through his lawyer, the Briton had already indicated that he may sue his former employers for unfair dismissal, and in newspapers on Sunday he repeated his claim of total innocence.

Stepney has now fled Italy again, speaking to the Sunday Times from a Mediterranean hideaway because he said he had been harassed by unidentified Italian figures.

"I've been framed," he said, before issuing a warning to his former bosses.

Stepney said: "I've been with Ferrari for 14 years and there's been a lot of controversy over the years, and I obviously know where the bodies are buried."

Ferrari did not immediately comment.
