Fiat Chairman Giovanni Agnelli concedes that the company has done no better than break even on the contract; unexpected costs ate up $100 million in fees that it received from Moscow. Now the last of the 2,000 Fiat engineers who worked on the project are returning to Italy and filling in the details of a story of unending problems.
