A Fitting class $\mathfrak{F}$ is said to be local if there exists a group function $f$ (for definition see (L. A. Shemetkov, Formations of Finite Groups, Moscow, Nauka, 1978 (Russian)) such that $f(p)$ is a Fitting class for every prime number $p$ and
$$\mathfrak{F} = \mathfrak{G}_{\pi(\mathfrak{F})} \cap \bigcap_{p \in \pi(\mathfrak{F})} f(p) \mathfrak{N}_p \mathfrak{G}_{p'}.$$ Is every hereditary Fitting class of finite groups local?

No, not every (L. A. Shemetkov, A. F. Vasil’yev, Abstracts of the Conf. of Mathematicians of Belarus’, Part 1, Grodno, 1992, p. 56 (Russian); S. F. Kamornikov, Math. Notes, 55, no. 6 (1994), 586–588).
