Boris Becker is waiting in prison for his release. He finds his way around quite well in everyday prison life – and yet causes trouble.
London/Berlin. From his beloved London, where Boris Becker lived until his imprisonment, it is almost 80 minutes by car. Northwest of the British capital, in the county of Oxfordshire, lies Huntercombe Prison behind a barbed wire barrier. There is the earlier one Tennisheld locked up – waiting for the day when the gate finally opens.
The 54-year-old has been in the jail. At the end of April he was two years and six months old for delaying bankruptcy Had To be sentenced. It was the biggest defeat of his life, which was characterized by ups and downs. In the meantime it has become quiet about the ex-Wimbledon winner. How is he actually?
Asked at Christian-Oliver Moser in Berlin, Becker’s longtime lawyer.

Boris Becker works in prison as an assistant teacher
So Becker doesn’t come into contact with murderers, rapists and kidnappers in Huntercombe. The inmates should continue their education, for example they can take painting courses or be trained as bricklayers.
Apparently, Becker gets involved in the community and has secured a comparatively easy task for himself: like the British newspaper “Sun” from the prison has experienced, the German works as a assistant teacherhe is supposed to explain the positive effects of physical exercise and healthy eating to his fellow inmates in physical education class.

Which really pisses off other inmates. “Normally, you would have to be here for years to get a job as a teaching assistant,” laments one inmate, according to The Sun. “But Becker received it after just a few weeks.” Some relatives of prisoners had already written to each other about the als preferential treatment perceived action complained. However, the prison authorities make it clear: “It is not correct that there was any form of preferential treatment.”
Boris Becker: Hope for release
Come celebrities to prison, they are in a special situation there. On the one hand, they are expected to behave like any other prisoner. On the other hand, they can never feel unobserved. Football official Uli Hoeneß (70) found out when he was due to tax evasion was imprisoned in the millions. Prisoners tried to take pictures of me with “smuggled cell phones in order to then sell them for a lot of money,” said Hoeneß after his release.
In the Becker case, a prison employee divulged to journalists that Becker was in prison during his first days in prison Panic advised as soon as the cell door was closed because he suffers from claustrophobia. Lawyer Moser denies this.
Apparently, Becker’s most important reference person at the moment is his girlfriend Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro. She comes regularly to Huntercombe during visiting hours – four times a week between 2pm and 4pm – and reports to Becker’s sons Noah (28) and Elias (23) and his mother, who lives in Baden-Württemberg Elvirawhat’s new.
The 87-year-old told media representatives that her son’s mouth was not watering at the sight of the prison meals: “He tastes it as good as at home Essen not there of course. But he has to go through that now.”
If things go well and he’s not guilty of anything, Becker could do it in a few weeks day releaser – theoretically this is possible after six months. Then he should be out for a few hours at the weekend. Moser does not want to judge how likely this is, he emphasizes that he does not want to comment “on the details of the detention”.
But just the prospect of freedom may give Becker strength.
