Police seize Fiat cars for misuse of the Italian flag (Instagram / @fiat)
Italian police have seized over one hundred Fiat Topolino cars in the port city of Livorno, on the western coast of Tuscany, due to the improper use of the Italian flag on the vehicles, which are manufactured in Morocco.
Since 2003, Italian law has prohibited the use of false or misleading indications of origin on products, which includes the use of the Italian flag on cars not manufactured in the country.

Although the Topolino was developed in the Italian city of Turin, Stellantis, Fiat’s parent company, had to remove the flag to comply with the legislation and release the seized cars. The company also stated that it had followed all regulations and did not attempt to deceive consumers about the origin of the vehicles.
