Suspicious wife sparks bomb scare– A suspicious wife sparks bomb scare with tracking device under husband’s expensive sports car. After police cordoned off the area they found out that Dr. Diletta Bianchini had the GPS device attached to her entrepreneur husband William Sachiti’s car after he started working late.
Ambulances and fire engines rushed to the usually quiet area braced for a possible explosion as police hastily cordoned off sidestreets to isolate a suspected bomb under a £40,000 sports car. It therefore came as a relief – of sorts – when it emerged that the source of the panic was not a terror plot or a mafia hit – but a suspicious wife with a lively imagination.

Police were stunned to discover that the suspicious flashing object which sparked the alert was in fact a tracking device fitted by a local businessman’s car by his wife to find out whether he was having an affair. Stranger still, it emerged that the culprit was none other than a respected cancer specialist at the world-leading Royal Marsden Hospital nearby who was married to a former Dragon’s Den contestant. Dr Diletta Bianchini, 35, had become suspicious after her husband, William Sachiti, began to work late.

Instead of confronting him about it the Italian-born oncologist hired private investigators to keep track on his movements. On her request they fitted a small global positioning system, under his silver Lexus SC430.
It was only on Saturday after shortly after Mr Sachiti had had his car washed that he noticed the cigarette box-sized device which was attached with magnets. He left it in the car park of a local supermarket and ran to the nearest police station to raise the alarm. It was only as police cordoned off the area that he spoke to his wife who sheepishly admitted that she had been tracking him.
“I’m just so sorry it happened,” she said.
“It was a huge mistake and I was out of my mind.”
Mr Sachiti, a former double glazing salesman and one-time stockbroker, explained that he was naturally alarmed because some of his work involved security and anti-fraud work with banks.
“At first I didn’t know what to do, I called a friend and they were concerned it could be something dangerous.
“So I went straight away to the police station.”[It] was the wife who hired someone to follow me as she was concerned about my new ambiguous work hours … She may well have thought I’m having an affair but I’m not.
“My wife has always been that sort of person who has wanted to know where I am.”
Scotland Yard confirmed said that the officers spoke to the security firm which fitted the device before removing it and calling off the alert.
“The bomb disposal squad, London Fire Brigade and London Ambulance Service were called but cancelled shortly after when police officers were informed by the driver’s wife that she had arranged to have a tracking device fitted underneath the rear of her husband’s car.”
Mr Sachiti, who describes as an entrepreneur, appeared on the business reality show Dragon’s Den in 2009 seeking investment in his “Clever Bin”, a solar powered street bin, complete with an alarm and GPS tracking, which he is aiming to sell to local authorities.
Peter Jones, one of the “Dragons” said his idea, which was rejected, was “the biggest load of bull I’ve ever heard in the Den.”
On his online profile Mr Sachiti jokes about the experience saying that it had helped him find his “calling as an entrepreneur”.
