Geneva: Medical records of Michael Schumacher have been offered for sale and officials are investigating the theft, his agent said, one week after the seven-times formula one champion came out of a coma.
The German driver, who suffered severe head injuries in a ski accident in the French Alps in December, was transferred from Grenoble in France to a Swiss medical centre on June 16.
“For several days stolen documents and data have been offered for sale,” Sabine Kehm, managing director of Michael Schumacher’s offices in Geneva, said in a statement on Monday.

“The offeror claims them to be the medical files of Michael Schumacher. We cannot judge if these documents are authentic.
