A German court sentenced three men for blackmailing Michael Schumacher's family, demanding $15 million in exchange for private images and videos. The ringleader received a three-year jail term, while his accomplice received a suspended sentence. The third defendant, a former family security guard, was sentenced to probation for selling the images.
