Susanne Klatten, BMW shareholder and Germany's wealthiest woman, is back in the spotlight as German police reportedly arrested three man charged of trying to extort money from the heiress, in a case which involves the same sex-scandal she was involved in last year.
According to Bloomberg, Klatten said she has been asked to pay 800,000 euro and a BMW X5 to the three, under threat of selling the sex tapes to the Italian press.
"Mrs. Klatten went directly to the police and the police made contact with these people over the phone,” a spokesman for the prosecutor, Thomas Steinkraus-Koch was quoted as saying by the source.
The police sting was set up really easy, as the wannabe criminals provided all the required tools. The police placed the money in the BMW X5 and arrested the three as they quarreled about who will drive the car. The police were unable to say whether the three men really had the video or any contact with Sgarbi.
Klatten's problems began last year, when she had an affair with the aforementioned Helg Sgarbi. As the trend goes in the information age, the two thought best to video their bedroom physical abilities/compatibilities for future reference. The only problem was that Sgarbi, in need of money, decided to use the video and blackmail Klatten into giving him...49 million euros.
Sgarbi now serves a six-year sentence for blackmail. Should jail time be decided for the newly arrested blackmailers, there's one thing we can learn from this: don't mess with "the Klatten".
