Former Michael Schumacher manager Willi Weber was reportedly robbed and left injured in his own villa in Stuttgart.
"I have a black eye, the police are here and talking to me. I'm feeling sh**y. I'm completely in shock," Weber told BILD.
According to police, the unpleasant incident occurred last Tuesday, when three perpetrators broke into his villa between 7:00 and 8:50 a.m., with Weber and others in the house being tied up and physically assaulted.
One of them, according to BILD, managed to free themselves and call the police an hour after the robbery, though the three assailants have still not been identified.

Perpetrators make off with a lavish haul from Weber’s villa

"They threatened the couple with weapons and tied up the two and another person present," a spokesperson told BBC.
The thieves made off with cash and jewelry worth several hundred thousand euros, having broken into multiple safes in Weber’s massive four-story, 16-room villa.
Authorities said the robbers were wearing balaclavas and dark clothing; one had orange shoes, while another was described as having a prominent belly.
Weber, in addition to the shock from the attack, was already not in the best physical condition at 83, having lost nearly 25 kg in 2022 after being hospitalized with a severe infection, and having suffered a heart attack two years earlier.
