Boris Becker freed from jail before being deported back to Germany from UK

Three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker was freed from jail today and will be deported from the UK back to Germany.

The former world No 1 was declared bankrupt on June 21, 2017 - owing creditors almost £50 million. The debt related to an unpaid loan of more than £3 million on his estate in Majorca.

In March this year, the German icon went on trial at Southwark Crown Court having been charged with illegally failing to hand over trophies in satisfaction of his debt during his bankruptcy. After being found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act, he was sentenced to two-and-a-half-years imprisonment.
