Michael Schumacher Extortion Case Expands to Include Former Nurse

Prosecutors investigate a nurse for alleged involvement in an extortion attempt targeting Schumacher's family using sensitive personal data.

Three men are on trial in Wuppertal for attempting to extort €15 million from Michael Schumacher's family by threatening to release private photos, videos, and medical records.
Prosecutors are now investigating a nurse who previously cared for Schumacher, following allegations linking her to the extortion plot.
The main defendant has confessed, claiming another accused provided hard drives with the stolen data, allegedly obtained from the nurse.
The Schumacher family had previously dismissed the nurse over concerns about her conduct, citing 'unsightly things' they had observed.
The trial has also prompted further legal action, including an investigation into a witness accused of retracting a key 33-page statement.
