Boris Becker has been moved to a prison for foreigners, according to reports. The Times claimed the German's lawyer told journalists in Berlin he has been transferred to a category C Huntercombe prison near Henley-on-Thames in Oxfordshire.
He was previously at category B Wandsworth prison in south west London, near Wimbledon, where he enjoyed so much success as a player. Although the tennis legend is being held in a more relaxed prison than he was previously, Becker is in danger of being deported as early as next year.
Huntercombe is one of only two prisons solely for convicted foreign nationals and holds approximately 400 men. A 2017 report found around 185 criminals out of 197 released from the prison within a six month period were deported.
