BERLÍN (AP) — Investigadores alemanes indicaron el viernes que arrestaron a un tercer sospechoso de intento de extorsión a la familia del expiloto de Fórmula Uno Michael Schumacher.Un sujeto de 52 años, que fue detenido el jueves cerca de la ciudad de Wuppertal al oeste de Alemania, trabajó como agente de seguridad de la familia, confirmó la agencia de noticias alemana dpa, citando a la fiscalía.
German investigators said Friday they have arrested a third suspect in an attempt to blackmail the family of former Formula 1 racing driver Michael Schumacher. The 52-year-old man, who was detained Thursday in a town near Wuppertal in western Germany, had worked for the family as a security officer, German news agency dpa reported, citing prosecutors. Investigators searched the man’s home and took away items including mobile phones, hard drives and memory sticks to comb them for evidence, prosecutor Wolf-Tilman Baumert said.
Brad Pitt's movie about Formula 1 coming to cinemas next year will simply be called “F1,” the racing series said Friday. Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton is a co-producer of the project, which collected footage at F1 circuits around the world this year and last. Footage was taken at Silverstone — home of the British Grand Prix — and at the Hungaroring near Budapest; as well as the historic Spa Francorchamps in Belgium; Japan’s popular Suzuka track; and Abu Dhabi’s Yas Marina circuit.
