Tennis legend Boris Becker jailed for two and a half years over hiding assets

Former tennis star Boris Becker has been handed a two and a half years prison sentence after he was found guilty under the Insolvency Act on four charges earlier this month.

The 54-year-old was convicted of hiding a number of assets, including almost £700,000, some of his most valued tennis titles - including two Wimbledon trophies - and 75,000 shares in a tech company.

After the six-time Grand Slam winner filed for bankruptcy 2017, he was legally obligated to declare all of his assets, according to the Mirror.
