Michael Schumacher Health Update: Legendary F1 Racer’s Photo Leaked and Sold For A Whopping £1 Million; Family Livid [VIDEO]
Michael Schumacher's ghoulish photo leak has enraged his family as they seek privacy amidst all the speculations regarding the F1 racer's health.
Some months back, it had been revealed that Michael Schumacher's family was suing German magazine Bunte for carrying a false report about the F1 racer's health status. Well, they are again facing similar rather more obnoxious situation as the first photo of the racer on his bed has been sold to the media for a huge £1 million.
The family is outraged over the breach of Michael's privacy. They are enraged after the ghoulish photo of the F1 racer became public as they have always maintained silence over his health status after he suffered a life-threatening injury three years back. The said photo shows him lying on his hospital bed inside his home in Geneva and has been offered to the media for a jaw-dropping amount of over £1 million, reports The Sun.
As for the snapper behind this scandalous photo leak, he remains untraceable. Also, initially it was planned to level charges against the person but it looks like there is not much that can be done.
Media persons who were offered the photo have refused to name the source. also, it looks like the family of the F1 racer would find it difficult to bring the snapper to justice, claims Daily Star.
The authorities have stopped investigations into the matter and thus, it appears the family would not be able to sue him like they did the German magazine. It may be recalled here that the health condition of Michael Schumacher has remained a subject of speculations ever since he went into a coma after the skiing accident on the French Alps in 2013.
His medical records have been stolen and his doctor's clinic has been also burgled but his family has maintained strict silence over the recovery status of the star racer. The members have always asked his fans and followers to respect their need for privacy. Corinna Betsch, the wife of the F1 champion, has said time and again that Michael was always protective of his privacy, even when he was at the peak of his career.
Well, this leak of Michael Schumacher's recovering photo definitely comes as a rude shock and it remains to be seen if the culprit will ever be captured.
