Markus allegedly stole sensitive files, including medical records and personal details, after being dismissed from his role.
Alongside two accomplices, he threatened to release the data unless the family paid a substantial sum.
The extortion attempt was thwarted, and all three were arrested. Prosecutors are seeking sentences of at least four years in prison if they are convicted.
