PA news agency has reported that, former Wimbledon champion Boris Becker was just let out of jail and will now be removed from the UK.
In order to avoid paying his debts when he declared bankruptcy, he concealed £2.5 million in assets and loans, serving just eight months of a two-and-a-half-year sentence.
The German has been residing in the UK since 2012, but he is now in danger of being expelled.
Given that Becker received a sentence of 12 months or more and is not believed to be a British citizen, he is believed to be eligible for automatic deportation.
The 55-year-old spoke about the turmoil of the case in a clip released this week for an Apple TV+ documentary.
Showing him before the sentencing in April, he says: “I’ve hit my (rock) bottom, I don’t know what to make of it.
“I (will) face (my sentence), I’m not going to hide or run away. (I will) accept whatever sentence I’m going to get.
“It’s Wednesday afternoon and (on) Friday I know the rest of my life.”
His fall from grace is documented in the two-part programme that also looks at Becker’s turbulent personal life and his tennis career, which included three Wimbledon titles.
Becker’s family as well as players past and present such as Novak Djokovic and John McEnroe, also appear.
