Details emerge about the court case of alleged blackmailers of Schumacher family

wuppertal, germany - The former adviser of Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher threatened to upload very personal photos of the racing driver on the dark web.

The 55-year-old Schumacher, a seven-time world champion, has not been seen in public since a skiing accident in 2013. His head hit a rock during an unfortunate fall while skiing in the French resort of Meribel with his son Mick. Schumacher was left severely disabled and has been in need of 24-hour care ever since. His wife, Corinna, protects his privacy in their estate on Lake Geneva in Switzerland.

The details of how Fritsche, along with 53-year-old Tozturkan and his 30-year-old son Daniel Lins, executed the alleged plot will be revealed next month when their trial begins. Tozturkan, a nightclub bouncer, and Fritsche have known each other for over 20 years and live near each other in Wuppertal where the trial will take place.
