Adrian Sutil’s lawyer alleges €17m Monaco garage raid after “cars out, or else” threat

Former Formula 1 driver Adrian Sutil is in pre-trial custody over alleged fraud charges. But now, according to an update from his lawyer, Dirk Schmitz, the German racing driver is claimed to be the victim of an extortion plot, with him and his family all targeted in a blackmail scheme. This has resulted in the loss of a number of high-priced vehicles valued at approximately €17million. 

Sutil's legal representative confirmed that nine luxury vehicles were taken from his private garage in Monaco. Included in this collection was a Mercedes 600, previously owned by the late singer and actor Elvis Presley.
