Michael Schumacher’s medical records have been stolen and offered for sale to the media.
The Formula One legend's files were allegedly taken from a hospital in Grenoble where he spent over five months in a coma.
It was announced last week that Schumacher was miraculously no longer in a coma and he was moved to University Hospital Lausanne.
Sabine Kehm, the 45 year old’s manager, said that stolen medical documents had been offered for sale to the media for several days.
We cannot judge if these documents are authentic. However, the documents are clearly stolen. The theft has been reported. The authorities are involved,” said Ms Kehm.
We expressly advise that both the purchase and the publication of such documents and data is forbidden. The contents of any medical files are totally private and confidential and must not made available to the public. “
We will therefore, in every single case, press for criminal charges and damages against any publication of the content or reference to the medical file.”
