Trial Opens in Switzerland Over Alleged Rape at Schumacher Family Villa

The accused, an Australian pilot linked to Mick Schumacher, has disputed the allegation as consensual.

Overview

  • Proceedings began at the Tribunal of Nyon on October 15, stemming from a November 23, 2019 incident in Gland on Lake Geneva.
  • The complainant is a nurse from Michael Schumacher’s medical team who says she was assaulted twice in an upstairs bedroom after becoming heavily intoxicated.
  • Swiss reports say investigators gathered several elements of evidence, including an audio recording the woman made the following morning.
  • The pilot initially cooperated with authorities and returned from Australia for questioning in 2024 but has since been described as unreachable and may not appear in court.
  • The Schumacher family is not a party to the case, and no relatives have been questioned or have commented publicly.
