145 LAWSUITS WERE FILED AGAINST FORMULA ONE DRIVER CHAMPION

The day before, it became known about the initiation of legal proceedings against the Brazilian race car driver and two-time Formula 1 winner Emerson Fittipaldi. 145 lawsuits were filed against the athlete, and the total amount of claims reached € 8.6 million.

Safra Bank, the defendant's largest creditor, has brought an asset concealment charge against him.

According to the bank, Fittipaldi leads a luxurious lifestyle in the United States of America and is in no hurry to repay his debts. The racer himself, as well as his lawyers, side against the bank, claiming that he is in a difficult financial situation, which does not allow him to call his life a luxurious one.  

It is worth noting that four years ago, Emerson had already lost his trophies and race cars. The reason for such measures was debts, which led to the confiscations. Emerson Fittipaldi became widely known after two Formula One victories in 1972 and 1974. After that, the racer moved to America and continued his career there, twice winning the "Indianapolis 500 Miles" and becoming the champion of the CART series.
