Yilmaz's 30-year-old son received a six-month suspended sentence for his role in facilitating the extortion, while a former security staff member, Markus F, who was accused of providing the confidential material, was given a two-year suspended sentence despite denying his involvement. The court learned that Schumacher has not been publicly seen since suffering severe brain injuries in a skiing accident in 2013, and his family has maintained confidentiality regarding his health.

During the trial, it was revealed that the father-son duo had sent samples of the stolen files via email to the Schumacher family, with recordings of their phone threats played in court. Yilmaz T attempted to portray himself as a broker for the stolen items, offering a clean deal without realizing the seriousness of his actions. The family quickly reported the threats to authorities in Switzerland, leading to the arrest of the three men in June 2024.

Schumacher's legal representative, Thilo Damm, criticized the leniency of the sentences, labeling the actions as the ultimate betrayal. He has indicated plans to appeal the court's decision, expressing worry over the whereabouts of one remaining hard drive, which could pose further risks to the family.
