Main suspect allegedly threatened to release photos unless former Formula One driver’s family paid him €15m
German prosecutors are bringing charges against three men arrested this year over a blackmail plot targeting the family of Formula One legend Michael Schumacher.
They said the chief suspect, a 53-year-old man from the western city of Wuppertal, had threatened to release private photos and videos and demanded 15 million euros (£12.5 million) from Schumacher’s family.
