He risked up to seven years, he took two and a half. Tennis icon and six-time Grand Slam champion Boris Becker has been sentenced to bankruptcy by a Southwark judge. On April 8, the German champions were found guilty by the jury and minutes ago sentenced to 30 months in prison by the Southwark Court judge. Boris awaited the verdict with his Wimbledon champion tie, he is likely to go to jail tonight to serve half his sentence while the remaining sentence will be on a semi-parole regime: “It’s worth noting – said Judge Deborah Taylor of the sentencing – how she did not admit her guilt and not even remorse. There was a complete lack of humility on her part.”

In the morning, Becker spent some time with his son Noah, then shopped at Harrods and finally bought a bouquet of flowers, likely for his partner Lilian de Carvalho, who never left him alone throughout the trial and judgement. Lili greeted Boris with a kiss from afar after the verdict, while his son Noah gave him a green bag containing alterations and personal items to take to prison.

Three million hole

Becker was convicted on 4 of the 24 charges he faced in court. Bum Bum would have transferred huge sums from his company account, not declared a villa he owns in Germany and hid around 900,000 euros in debt and shares in a technology company. Becker’s total debts amount to around €3 million. The champion had admitted he was embarrassed and embarrassed by the bankruptcy, but his life was very expensive and, most importantly, he had taken on very high costs of divorcing his first wife and supporting four children.
