Investigators Trace Rare Koenigsegg One:1 as Sutil Remains in Pretrial Detention

Forensic checks on a VIN‑verified One:1 and cross‑border seizures are sharpening prosecutors’ probe into alleged leasing fraud and disputed ownership.

Overview

  • Prosecutors in Stuttgart have held former F1 driver Adrian Sutil in pretrial detention on fraud and embezzlement allegations tied to leasing since late November 2025 and he denies the charges.
  • Authorities and state investigators have targeted and in some cases seized high‑value cars across Monaco, Switzerland and Germany as they trace financing and control of the vehicles.
  • Reporters inspected the Koenigsegg One:1 on 19 May 2026 and verified the VIN ending 7108, found the registration lists PACE as holder rather than Sutil, and recorded an odometer reading of 4,167 km.
  • AIL Leasing financed the One:1 with a reported monthly lease rate of €31,000 net and the car was later sold by AIL to a buyer in Upper Austria while investigators continue to check the transfer.
  • The One:1’s extreme rarity and collector value make it a focal asset in the inquiry and investigators are reviewing leasing records, registration limits that mask earlier owners, and family claims about a forced Monaco retrieval and a Wagner‑linked threat.
