This thing is just getting silly

From Autosport.com:

Italian magistrates have told Formula One leaders McLaren they are under investigation as part of enquiries into the leak of a 780-page technical dossier from rivals Ferrari.

"The team was informed on Saturday evening by Modena magistrates that they are involved in an ongoing investigation," a team spokeswoman said at the Italian Grand Prix.

Italian media said team boss Ron Dennis was one of seven people due to receive an "avviso di garanzia" from the prosecutor in Modena, a legal notification that the person is suspected of a crime and is being investigated.

However, it may not necessarily lead to a charge.

The ANSA news agency said the others under investigation were former Ferrari engineer Nigel Stepney, suspended McLaren chief designer Mike Coughlan, chief executive Martin Whitmarsh and senior McLaren employees Paddy Lowe, Jonathan Neale and Rob Taylor.
