The man who blackmailed Michael Schumacher's wife Corinna demanding EUR900,000 (?768,🎐000) and threatening to kill their children has been given a suspended sentence in Germany.

A 25-year-old decorator, named Huseyin B under Germanജ law, had threatened to kill Schumacher's children and warned an 'accident could happen' to Mick who was racing in Formula 4 at the time.

The blackmailer had demanded ?768,000 to 🌜be transferred to his personal bank account which the German a꧃uthorities quickly traced.

"If the money is not re🧜ceived by March 31, your c🦹hildren will be killed in some way or other. In Formula 4, a lot of accidents happen," an email read from Huseyin B.

Corinna Schumacher immediately reported the email to the Swiss police who traced the personal account back to German. The 25-year-old confessed to sending th🙈e email but said he didn't know why he h🍎ad sent it.

Prosecutors sai🐠d he had planned to do something similar to Erich Sixt, the tycoon behind the Sixt car hire company, and the d♕ecorator has been given a suspended sentence of 21 months, fined EUR4,500 (?3,850), to complete 50 hours of community service and undergo therapy.

Michae⛄l Schumacher suffered a near-fatal accident in December 2013 while skiing with his family. It was recently confirmed in a German court he cannot walk or stand𝔉 as a result of the accident, when the family sued a German magazine over a report which said he could walk again.

The Schumachers have heaviಌly guarded the F1 💛legend's private life since the accident.
