Australian driver ‘missing’ in investigation over rape at Schumacher mansion
An Australian driver linked to an investigation into the alleged rape of a nurse of Michael Schumacher has gone missing from the trial’s first day in Switzerland. The defendant, reported to live in Australia, failed to appear before the Nyon Criminal Court as reported by Swiss-French publication 24heures. Prior to the trial, there were concerns about the defendant’s absence, with the driver’s lawyer requesting a trial adjournment. The Schumacher family, although not involved in the case and not accused of any wrongdoing, were not asked to provide comments. The accused driver, a former friend of Mick Schumacher, allegedly raped the nurse at the Schumacher estate in Gland, Switzerland, in 2019. The trial has been postponed following the suspect’s no-show, with the prosecutor suggesting a six-month delay for a new trial date to be determined.
