Former tennis player Boris Becker has been sentenced to two and a half years in jail after being found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act earlier this month.
The German, who also previously coached current world No.1 Novak Djokovic, was convicted of hiding a number of assets, including nearly £700,000, 75,000 shares in a tech firm and some of his most prized tennis titles - including two Wimbledon trophies. Becker was legally obliged to declare all of his assets after being declared bankrupt five years ago
Following the 2017 bankruptcy the six-time Grand Slam winner handed his wedding ring over, but concealed ownership of a £1.3million home in his native Germany, a £692,000 loan he received from a Liechtenstein bank as well as his shares in an artificial intelligence firm.
