This is the shocking moment the son of one of Michael Schumacher's alleged blackmailers is dragged away by an outraged lawyer after giving a blundering interview.
Footage shows the son of accused Yilmaz T, 53, clumsily call the alleged extortion plot a "sales pitch" before being pulled and shoved down a hallway.
Former security guard Markus F allegedly wanted "revenge" after he was let go by Schumacher's wife Corinna earlier this year from his job role.
He took with him 1,500 images, 200 videos as well as extensive medical notes with him of the racer driver who hasn't been seen since suffering a life-changing ski crash in 2013.
Markus is accused of stealing the information and recruiting long-term pal and local bouncer Yilmaz T, say German authorities.
Yilmaz then allegedly used his son Daniel L. to help him make contact with the Schumacher family before trying to extort them.
German cops have led investigations with the three suspects appearing at Wuppertal District Court near Dortmund this week.
Yilmaz, who had known Markus for over twenty years, was allegedly promised a small commission in return for his help.
During an interview outside the courtroom, Yilmaz's youngest son and the brother of Daniel, named in German media as Noah L, was dragged away by Daniel's lawyer.
Noah was in the midst of saying various clumsy remarks on the case, telling the German broadcaster Welt: "Blackmail is when I threaten someone with violence.
"But if I go to you now and say, 'I have something here, do you want to buy it,' that is not blackmail.
