Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher appeared in public for the first time in 11 years — Mass media

It is likely that Formula 1 legend Michael Schumacher appeared in public for the first time in many years after his injury. The Daily Mail believes that he attended the wedding of his 27-year-old daughter Gina-Maria with Ian Bethke.

The wedding ceremony took place at the family villa "Yasmin" in Puerto de Andratx on the Spanish island of Mallorca. The guests of the celebration were asked "not to take their phones with them," allegedly so that unauthorized photos of the interiors of the luxury villa would not be taken.

However, it is possible that the guests were left without phones in order to avoid leaks of photos of Schumacher himself after the injury. It is also claimed that Villa Yasmin has a helipad, and the famous racer regularly flies to Spain from the family home on Lake Geneva in Switzerland.

As EADaily reported, in December 2013, the racer and his family were vacationing in the French part of the Alps. The athlete's skis touched an invisible obstacle, after which he hit his head on a stone. Moreover, the blow was so strong that Schumacher's protective helmet split. For several months the athlete was in a state of artificial coma, he underwent a series of complex brain surgeries, after which he was sent home for recovery.

In June of this year it became known that the care of Michael Schumacher costs € 7 million per year. We are talking about doctors' fees, the cost of medical equipment and drugs.

In addition, the Schumacher family also spends a lot of money on the work of the security service, thanks to which over the past ten years in Not a single reliable photo of the sick Michael has leaked to the media.

Earlier it became known that three blackmailers were detained in Germany, who extorted € 15 million from the racer's family, threatening to publish photos of Schumacher after the accident. Presumably, the materials belong to a 51-year-old German resident who worked as a security guard in the racer's family.
