SCHUMACHER '₤12M PIC PLOT'

F1 LEGEND Michael Schumacher is at the centre of an alleged £12million blackmail plot.

A former trusted family aide, bodyguard Markus Fritsche, is accused of being behind the claimed extortion.

Seven-times world champion Michael, 55, was seriously injured in a skiing accident in 2013.

The German's family have kept his condition private, with only a trusted circle of people allowed close to him.

Fritsche recruited by the Schumachers 18 months before the accident - was one of them.
