A family spokesperson confirmed on Wednesday that an agreement had been reached with the media group Funke, publisher of the magazine Die Aktuelle, following a decision by the Munich Labor Court. The details of the agreement were not disclosed.
Last year, the editor of the magazine was dismissed and the Funke media group issued an apology to the Schumacher family.
Schumacher, the renowned Ferrari driver who is now 55 years old, has not made any public appearances since suffering a severe brain injury in a skiing accident during a family trip in the French Alps in December 2013.
Schumacher’s family maintains a strict privacy policy regarding his condition, allowing only those closest to him to have access.
In April 2023, Die Aktuelle featured a cover with a photo of Schumacher smiling, accompanied by the headline “Michael Schumacher, the first interview.” However, it was later revealed that the quotes inside the magazine were generated by artificial intelligence, despite appearing authentic.
