Bad news for Michael Schumacher’s family, which ended up in the news due to a scam.
Yet another twist in the life of Michael Schumacher, who is back in the news just as he continues his recovery towards a normal life. Summer has now arrived and soon the champion will be able to see his daughter marry her man, an event which, however, risks being overshadowed after the latest leak.
What happened to the family of the former Ferrari driver is incredible. After all the attempts made by his loved ones with the hope of being able to soon see the champion again among the public, the affair did not risk ruining everything for a while. In Germany there is talk of blackmail and two people arrested.
In these more than ten years of hospitalization, we have heard all kinds of things about Schumacher but something like this had not yet come out. This is a real drama for his loved ones who have thus come close to having to deal with another nightmare. His wife Corinna hopes that it will all be over now.
Schumacher family under blackmail: two people arrested
The police were ready to intervene and immediately went into action and arrested the two criminals. According to what was reported by Bildtwo people approached Schumacher’s family with the aim of extorting a particularly large sum of money from them, through threats and blackmail. Exactly how much the request amounted to was not disclosed but in Germany we are talking about millions of euros.
The protagonists of the scam would be two men from Wuppertal, a city in North Rhine-Westphalia a few steps from Dusseldorf. According to initial reconstructions, it is likely that the two men tried to sell stolen images. However, what happened in detail has not yet been disclosed. What is certain is that Corinna was not fooled, she kept calm and in the end, with the help of the police, she managed to prevail.
Those responsible are continuing to investigate right now with the hope of obtaining more details. Something like this had already happened in the past. Some time ago, still during his convalescence, a family friend had taken some stolen photos of the champion with the hope of reselling them. After several proposals made to newspapers and television stations, always with negative results, the man tried to resell the photos to his family. Even in that case the wife had decided to report.
