Bang effect in the process of Boris Becker: tennis star trembles before imprisonment.
London. The day after the hammer judgment against the once celebrated Wimbledon winner from Germany, Boris Becker ordered a pizza to his house in London. Food for the nerves after a week’s trial, which ended on Friday with a guilty verdict on four out of 24 charges. The sentence – in the worst case seven years in prison – will be announced on April 29th.
On the other hand, Becker can appeal. In any case, he is not allowed to leave Great Britain until then and even had to hand in his passport.
deep fall. It is another low point in the case of the tennis star, who wasted his money and is now on trial for allegedly concealing assets of 4.5 million euros and moving funds.
Convicted on four out of 24 counts
Credibility. In his statement, Becker protested his innocence. The jury didn’t see it that way, at least on four counts. Becker was found guilty in…
… Point 4. 426,930 euros sent in nine different transfers.
… point 10. Concealed property of parental home.
… Point 13. Loan from Bank Alpinum in Liechtenstein (825,000 euros) concealed.
… Point 14. 75,000 shares of Breaking Data Corp withheld.

support. Becker’s new love Lilian and his eldest son Noah were always at his side during the trial days. Becker will need their support – especially if he should be behind bars!
Boom boom debt! The crash of the tennis ace
Thanks to his successes and advertising contracts, Boris Becker is said to have earned 100 million euros in his career to date – there is nothing left of that now. AUSTRIA has its debt file:
In 2017, Becker was officially declared bankrupt by a London court. Reason for this: He was able to pay his debts of 59 million euros e.g. at the British private bank Arbuthnot Latham & Co. (10.5 million) no longer pay.
Shortly thereafter, the Swiss entrepreneur Hans-Dieter Cleven announced that he would like to assert his claims. It’s about loans in the amount of a whopping 37 million euros. Fifteen creditors are now demanding money from Boris Becker.
In the course of the insolvency proceedings in 2019, trophies, medals, watches and tennis rackets – a total of 80 memorabilia – were forcibly auctioned off for 900,000 euros, and an apartment in his home town of Leimen was sold for 194,000 euros. Jewelry brought 46,000 euros, and 37,000 euros were found in bank accounts. Four million euros were collected in this way.
Due to allegations that he had withheld and moved money, the British bankruptcy authority extended his proceedings for another twelve years until 2031.
Due to this hustle and bustle, his marriage to Lily Becker, with whom he has a son Amadeus, also failed. Which, of course, wasn’t cheap for Becker either. Divorce is still pending.
