Former Formula 1 driver Adrian Sutil has been arrested during a coordinated international police operation. The Bild newspaper reports that investigators are charging the 42-year-old with serious fraud and embezzlement. 

The German publication noted that simultaneous raids occurred at Sutil’s residences in Monaco, Switzerland, and Sindelfingen, with officers from the Stuttgart State Criminal Police apprehending him in Germany on Thursday morning. He was subsequently brought before a local court, where a judge enforced an existing arrest warrant.

The Stuttgart public prosecutor’s office has only confirmed that several properties were searched in collaboration with state investigators, without disclosing details regarding the charges. However, sources from Bild indicate suspicions of "aggravated joint fraud and joint embezzlement" in connection with luxury-car transactions in Monaco and Switzerland.

Sutil, who has been out of the public eye since concluding his F1 career in 2014, has often garnered attention for his high-end car collection. Earlier this year, Auto Hebdo reported that his garage features a Bugatti Chiron, Pagani Zonda, Ferrari Enzo, and multiple Koenigsegg models, among others.

He has previously encountered legal issues—in 2012, he was given an 18-month suspended sentence for injuring Lotus investor Eric Lux with a champagne glass at a nightclub in Shanghai. Authorities have not yet publicly confirmed his recent arrest, and the former Force India driver is considered innocent until proven guilty.
