Boris Becker has been jailed for two and half years for hiding assets following his bankruptcy.
The 54-year-old tennis legend was found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act by a jury at Southwark Crown Court earlier this month and was sentenced to two years and six months in prison at the same court on Friday.
Becker’s lawyer Jonathan Laidlaw had argued that the six-time Grand Slam champion had already “lost literally everything” in a plea for a suspended sentence.
