Following reports of an altercation in a Shanghai nightlcub, Genii Capital's Eric Lux has filed a a criminal complaint against Force India driver Adrian Sutil for physical assault and grievous bodily harm
A brief statement issued this evening by Lux's lawyers, Lalive, reads as follows:
"In the view of the recent events which occurred in Shanghai on 17 April, Mr Eric Lux has decided to file a criminal complaint against Mister Adrian Sutil for physical assault and grievous bodily harm.
As soon as the complaint is registered, the Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) and the team Force India will be notified.
Furthermore, please note that Mr Eric Lux does not exclude commencing an action against any other persons involved in this matter."
In reaction to the story breaking last week, Sutil issued a statement in which he said: "At this event, which I visited as a private person, something happened which was a very unfortunate action on my part, in which I hurt another person completely unintentionally. I regret the incident very much and have apologised."
It would appear that the apology was not sufficient.
