Former Wimbledon champion Boris Becker has been jailed for two and a half years for hiding £2.5m worth of assets and loans to avoid paying debts.
The six-time Grand Slam champion had denied breaking UK insolvency laws after he was declared bankrupt in 2017, owing creditors almost £50m.
Becker, 54, was found guilty of four charges by a jury under the Insolvency Act. He was cleared on 20 counts.
He sent almost £390,000 in payments from his business account to others.
The case centred on Becker's bankruptcy in June 2017 resulting from an unpaid loan of more than £3m on his luxury estate in Mallorca, Spain.

Well, he's out. 8 months served out of 30 handed down. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/tennis/63987543That seems like quite a discount. He's being deported too. I wonder if that would have been possible when we were still under the yeuke. Still, on the one hand, he got banged up for thumbing his nose at the law, but he also got sent home pretty bloody early. |

I hope he's learned his lesson and is out of that racket.

Still 8 months as someone's ball boy might have served as a lesson.
