Further details are yet to be released and Sutil has not publicly commented on the allegations.
Sutil raced for seven years in F1 with Spyker, Force India and Sauber.
One of his best-ever finishes came around Monaco with a fifth-placed finish in the 2013 Grand Prix.
In 2011, Sutil was involved in an incident which unfolded at a Shanghai nightclub.
A Lotus team executive Eric Lux was injured with a champagne glass.
Sutil was found guilty of grievous bodily harm and was handed an 18-month suspended sentence with a fine.
The case saw him leave Formula 1, but he made a comeback to the sport with Force India in 2013.
The Sun also reported in 2020 how a £1.2million McLaren supercar, reportedly owned by Sutil, was wrecked in Monaco.
Pictures on social media circulated of the nasty smash, with the orange Senna LM model mangled against a lamppost.
The accident was said to occur just outside of Monaco with German racer Sutil reportedly sat next to the car.
The McLaren Senna LM supercar was estimated to have cost around £1,248,000.
Only 24 were made, with just six sold in the marque’s trademark papaya orange.
