F1 icon Michael Schumacher's family faced a distressing blackmail attempt.

Two individuals have been arrested after attempting to blackmail the family of Formula 1 icon Michael Schumacher. The father-son duo, both residents of Wuppertal, Germany, demanded millions of euros in exchange for withholding sensitive files that they threatened to release on the darknet if their demands were not met.

Since his tragic accident at Meribel in the French Alps, which resulted in a severe brain injury, Schumacher has been under the private care of medical professionals and his wife, Corinna, at his home. Despite retiring in 2012 after a stellar career that included 91 race wins and seven F1 championship titles, Michael Schumacher remains a beloved figure in the world of motorsport.
