Three Men Charged in Blackmail Attempt Against Michael Schumacher's Family

The suspects threatened to release private photos and videos of the F1 legend, demanding a €15 million ransom.

German prosecutors have charged three men in connection with a blackmail plot targeting Michael Schumacher's family.
The primary suspect, a 53-year-old man, demanded €15 million in exchange for not releasing private photos and videos of Schumacher.
A former security guard for the Schumacher family is accused of providing the private material for a five-figure sum.
The 53-year-old suspect's son allegedly created an untraceable email to facilitate the blackmail attempt.
The Schumacher family alerted Swiss authorities, leading to an investigation that traced the suspects back to Germany.
