Michael Schumacher's wife, Corinna, has tried to appeal the 'very indulgent' judgment verdict on the blackmail plot to filter her health secrets of her superstar husband in a conviction declared on Monday.
Mailonline exclusively revealed the details of last year of the extortion offer in the champion of the formula one of the seven times that has not been seen in public from a horrible ski accident in 2013.
Three men, including former Schumacher bodyguard, Markus Fritsche, 53, were in trial after hard drives containing confidential images, medical videos and records were stolen from a computer.
The goalkeeper of the Yilmaz Tezturban nightclub, also 53 years old, and his Ti Daniel Lins expert, denied the blackmail and insisted that they were offering the Schumacher family a “commercial agreement.”
The trial has heard more than 1500 images, videos and confidential medical records were discharged from a computer and were given to Fritsche, who passed them to Tozurkan, who said that “would raise them to the dark website” unless the money was paid .
The prosecutors of the German city of Wuppertal asked Tezturban, who is currently in jail for an unrelated crime, will be given three years, while the Schumacher family had been asking for five years for what they saw as their “final betrayal” .

His son, Lins, received a six -month suspended sentence, while Fritsche received two years, also suspended.
But Corinna and the Schumacher family have attacked the given sentences, highlighting in particular Fritsche in particular as not serious enough, for fear that imitation crimes are committed in the future.
“We have appealed against what we consider the sentence too indulgent for Mr. F,” said Monday's statement.
'In my opinion, he was the intellectual author behind this. What even more surprises me is the massive violation of trust. I should receive a punishment that dissuade any possible imitator.
The trial, which began in December last year, saw Tezturban admit his guilt and regret for his role in the plot of blackmail, with the defendant telling the court that it was a “very, very unpleasant thing” that he had done.
'I realized that the second day in prison. I will answer for it, '' he said. I'm very sorry and ashamed. I will assume responsibility for what I have done.
In a continuation of the Ultra Protective Measures of Corinna to protect the privacy of her affected husband, the family sought to keep the details about Schumacher's condition privately throughout the trial.
Little is known about Schumacher's health more than 11 years after the catastrophic accident suffered by the star while skiing in the French Alps with his son driver of racing, Mick, with close friends for the maximum secret about his visits to the house of £ house 50 million family in the gland, Switzerland. .

The details of Schumacher's health conditions have remained strictly private for more than 12 years.
Corinna has played a key role in drawing a secret veil about her husband's health in the years after the accident
Schumacher's privacy has seen many people try to take advantage of information vacuum.
An executive of the helicopter air rescue company that transferred him from a French hospital to Switzerland six months after the accident allegedly tried to steal his medical records and sell them to several European media for € 50,000 (£ 40,000).
French prosecutors tracked the IP address of the computer used in rega -robbery, the main air ambulance operator in Switzerland. At that time, the company acknowledged that he had received a medical archive to help in Schumacher's move, but strongly denied having participated in the robbery.
The prosecutors of France and Switzerland managed to track the alleged robbery of return to the Air Rescue Executive, who was quickly arrested and placed in a prison cell in Zurich.
But the next morning, hours before he was scheduled to go before the Court, the officers discovered that the man had hanged himself in his cell.
The authorities did not publish the name, age or nationality of man. But Zurich's office said at that time that he had acted alone, and that there were no indications that it was mentally unstable or suicidal.
“We are lost by words and deeply surprised,” said Schumacher's manager, Sabine Kehm, at that time, but added that any publication of the “clearly stolen” medical archive would result in prosecution, which meant that the notes never saw the light of the day .
A year later, the family avoided little another catastrophic escape when an unnamed 'friend' granted access to Schumacher's house managed to take an image and pass from smuggling.

One of Schumacher's closest friends, Jean Todt, regularly visits the star, but keeps the details closely
Supposedly, the image was marking the European media groups with a price of one million euros.
But German prosecutors intervened quickly, declaring photography and their sales attempt constituted a “violation of their personal life range” and a violation of privacy.
The image never appeared, and to this day there have never been photos of Schumacher after the accident.
One of Schumacher's closest friends, and his former racing manager with Ferrari, Jean Todt is one of the few who maintain regular contact with the former driver, and in February he shared a moving update on the condition of Schumacher.
“The family has decided not to answer the question (in their condition),” Todt told the repubblica. 'An election that respects.
'I see it regularly and with affection, he and his family. Our link goes beyond past work. It is part of my life, which today is far from formula 1. '
But last year's reports suggested that Schumacher had been seen in public, at his daughter Gina's wedding.
Gina married her boyfriend Iain Bethke in the family's luxury village in Mallorca, and it was claimed that Schumacher was there to witness the ceremony.
According to the reports, the guests were forced to deliver their phones to prevent the photos from filtering the demanded racing driver.
However, his close friend Johnny Herbert, who ran in Formula one between 1989 and 2000, then raised the reports and described them as 'false news'.
Herbert told Flashscore in November: 'It will always be a closed store. The most recent rumor was that he attended his daughter's wedding. Unfortunately, for what I understand, all were false news of AI and there is no truth in it. '
