The two accused appeared before the Charleroi council chamber and remain in preventive detention.
A man who previously worked at the evidence registry is suspected of having stolen and misappropriated several objects seized by the courts. The investigation initiated several months ago has recently gained momentum. “Certain objects were not found at the registry. The latter then directly notified the public prosecutor’s office. The opening of the investigation did not take place following a complaint from a litigant, but rather through this information. Later, following the opening of several notices, there was indeed a complaint filed by a person. A suspect was able to be identified and a search was carried out.”indicated Vincent Fiasse, King’s Prosecutor of Charleroi.
This legal operation led to the seizure of objects and a Porsche. “Obviously, this Porsche was not stolen from the registry, but it might be the result of the suspect’s criminal activities,” specified the Charleroi public prosecutor’s office. According to the King’s Prosecutor, the damage linked to these thefts and misappropriations would be around 500,000 euros and would mainly only concern jewelry. The main suspect and his partner were arrested and charged with theft and misappropriation of objects.
The preventive detention of the two accused was confirmed by the Charleroi council chamber. The investigation is still ongoing and the review of security measures has been announced, concluded the Charleroi King’s Prosecutor.

No chance for Germany
Sebastian Vettel has faced the Sports Illustrated expressed regarding the prospects of a German Grand Prix and therefore cannot give the fans high hopes:
“I think we won’t see a Grand Prix in Germany for a long time. I think it’s a shame, but I understand why. A Formula 1 race is very expensive for the respective country. The decisive pressure from the German automotive industry may also be missing . This is stupid for fans.”
Although he doesn’t have a patent recipe for how to get everything back in the right direction, he did talk regarding other reasons why motorsport is simply more difficult in this country compared to other sports:
“Motorsport has become too expensive and therefore too exclusive. Perhaps the lack of interest leads to a lack of financial resources from sponsors or the industry to encourage young talent here.”
Perhaps Audi’s entry in 2026, Tim Tramnitz in the Red Bull talent factory or a return of Mick Schumacher in the next few years can ensure a renewed Formula 1 boom in Germany.

Bustamante in the McLaren
Bianca Bustamante was introduced yesterday as the first woman to represent an active Formula 1 racing team for the F1 Academy 2024. She will also be part of the McLaren junior program.
Bustamante, like the entire F1 Academy, will drive the season finale as part of Formula 1 in Austin this weekend. Next season, the women’s racing series will be a permanent part of the supporting program and each team will field a car in the racing team’s colors along with a female driver to be supported.
The 18-year-old Filipino is full of anticipation:
“This is such an incredible moment in my career. Signing with McLaren and ART Grand Prix is beyond anything I might have ever imagined when I was racing karts in the Philippines. I still find it difficult to keep my name associated with McLaren without getting emotional, because the history and legacy of this team really leaves me speechless.
I am so grateful for this opportunity because I believe that I now have the best possible development structure around me to take the next step in my career and I am very grateful for that.”

Better than Senna?
Gerhard Berger and Christian Danner experienced Ayrton Senna up close and also drove with and once morest him. Berger himself was a good friend of the Brazilian Formula 1 legend and also had many conversations with him off the track.
In the Hello TV-Broadcast Sports and talk from Hangar-7 Gerhard Berger gave Max Verstappen a knighthood because he thinks that the three-time world champion is not only on the same level as Senna, but also a bit above it – and that’s saying something!
You can find out how Berger justifies this comparison on the Formula1.de YouTube channel.

Leather look for Austin
Guanyu Zhou may not be the most successful, fastest or best driver in the current Formula 1 field, but his special helmet designs are, in my opinion, some of the best!
The Chinese also came up with something for Austin. Since Texas is the country of cowboys and leather plays a key role in their clothing choices, there is a helmet with a sensational leather look.
I recommend that you scroll through the pictures and then take a close look at the close-ups. You might really think that real leather was put on the helmet. Insanely cool!
