Boris Becker reunited with 87-year-old mum after deportation following prison stint

Boris Becker has reunited with his 87-year-old mother Elvira after being released from prison this week.

Back in April, the six-time Grand Slam champion was sentenced to two and a half years in jail after being found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act. Following bankruptcy in 2017, the German star concealed ownership of a £1.3million home, a £692,000 loan he received from a Liechtenstein bank as well as his shares in an artificial intelligence firm.

But just eight months into his stint behind bars Becker, 55, was released to be deported back for Germany. It meant being reunited with Elvira, who was said to be heartbroken by her son's sentence, before Christmas.
