Two Arrested in Blackmail Attempt on Michael Schumacher's Family

German prosecutors detain father and son accused of demanding millions to prevent release of sensitive files.

The suspects, aged 53 and 30, were detained in Gross-Gerau and are from Wuppertal.
They threatened to publish files on the darknet if not paid several million euros.
The men were already on probation for another case and now face up to five years in prison.
Schumacher's family has kept his condition private since his 2013 skiing accident.
The family recently won a case against a magazine for an AI-generated interview.
