Former Schumacher Manager Willi Weber Tied Up and Robbed in Stuttgart Home Invasion

Police are investigating possible ties to a similar September case.

Overview

  • Three masked intruders entered Weber’s villa between 19:00 and 20:50 through a briefly open door, threatened the occupants with a pistol and knives, and tied them to chairs.
  • Weber says he was punched until he revealed safe codes, after which multiple safes were opened and emptied of cash, jewelry and watches.
  • Police estimate the loss at several hundred thousand euros, while Weber puts the value at about one million euros.
  • Weber suffered facial bruising and did not require hospital treatment, and his wife and housekeeper sustained minor injuries.
  • Investigators are searching for three dark‑clothed men described as wearing balaclavas, with one in orange shoes and another with a belly; one victim freed himself after roughly two hours to alert police.
