A sudden turn in the Schumacher family trial. “She was under investigation”

Michael Schumacherseven-time Formula 1 world champion, suffered a terrible skiing accident in 2013. Since then, he has remained in complete isolation, and information about his health is closely guarded. Which some people tried to take advantage of.

The trial regarding Michael Schumacher has started. Another person involved in the procedure?

Markus Fritsche, a former assistant and bodyguard of the Schumacher family, recently hatched an intrigue and sold medical records, as well as photos and videos of the famous driver to Yilmaz Tozturkan. All this to blackmail the 55-year-old's family. Tozturkan's son was also involved in the procedure, and their demands for “silence” amounted to approximately EUR 15 million. Ultimately, the services stopped them, and they recently appeared in court in Wuppertal. New threads are emerging in the case.

The Italian “La Gazzetta dello Sport” writes about the process. And citing information from the German press agency dpa, she revealed that a nurse could also be involved in the procedure. “The 30-year-old woman who allegedly provided (Fritsche – ed.) sensitive materials has already been investigated,” it was reported.

The woman took care of the German for some time, so she could have had access to a lot of sensitive information. Her role in the case is currently under investigation. “At the beginning of the trial, both the main suspect and the former employee of the Schumacher family mentioned a nurse who, when called to the courtroom as a witness on the first day, did not appear,” it was revealed. Which certainly won't quiet down speculation.

The family closely guards information about Michael Schumacher. “They have an interest in it”

For now, the truth about Schumacher's health does not go beyond a narrow circle, which includes, among others: Jean Todt (former Ferrari boss w Formula 1), Luca Badoer (former Ferrari teammate) and Sabina Kehm (former manager).

– The Schumacher family has an interest in ensuring that information about the former driver's health does not come to light. And the data we have come into possession of provides a lot of such information. There is digital medical documentation there, said one of the prosecutors. Yilmaz Tozturkan was charged with “attempted extortion”, for which he faces up to 15 years in prison. And his son and Markus Fritsche were accused of “aiding and abetting blackmail and violating a very personal sphere of life”.
