Schumacher's ex-manager Weber avoids jail term

Michael Schumacher's former manager and Nico H?lkenberg's current manager Willi Weber has been sentenced to two years' probation by a German court in Stuttgart for embezzlement

H🤪e might be enduring a rather less-than-glorious comeback to top flight competition in F1 2010, but at least Michael Schumacher has been spa🍃red the ignominy of seeing his former manager Willi Weber being sent to jail for insolvency.

Weber currently manag🧔es Schumacher's younger compatriot and Williams rookie Nico H?lkenberg and retains an involvement in the commercial side of the former's career - but in 2008 the flamboyant businessman was sentenced to two years' probation and a substantial fine for having presided over the transfer of money and assets from an insolvent Schumacher merchandising company.
