Nightclub incident

Lux filed a criminal complaint against Sutil for physical assault and grievous bodily harm. In January 2012 Sutil was found guilty by a court in Munich and given an 18-month suspended prison sentence and fined 200,000 Euros. Sutil later planned to appeal his sentence, as well as the prosecutor, though Sutil decided against it.
