The man who b🍒lackmailed Michael Schumacher's wife Corinna demanding EUR900,000 (?768,000) and threatening to kill their children ha🐓s been given a suspended sentence in Germany.

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

The blackmailer had demanded ?768,000 to be transferred to his personal bank account which the German au꧋thorities quickly ♏traced.

"If the money is not received by March 31, your children 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 the email but said he didn't know why h🦋e had sent it.

Prosecu꧟tors said he had planned to do something similar to Erich Sixt, the tyc🌄oon behind the Sixt car hire company, and the decorator has been given a suspended sentence of 21 months, fined EUR4,500 (?3,850), to complete 50 hours of community service and undergo therapy.

Michael 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 stand as a result of the accident, when the family sued a German magazine ove𝔍r a report which said he could walk again.

The Schumachers have he♛avily guarded the F1 legend's private life since the accident.
