Former tennis world number one Arantxa Sanchez Vicario was sentenced to two years in prison in Barcelona for concealing assets in connection with a bank loan worth millions that had to be repaid. However, the former rival of the German player of the century Steffi Graf does not have to go behind bars. The court suspended the sentence on probation, the judicial press office said upon request. This is possible with this sentence if there are no previous convictions, which is the case with Sánchez Vicario.
Her ex-husband, who managed her assets, was sentenced to three years and three months in prison. This punishment cannot be suspended. His lawyer is considering filing an appeal, wrote the newspaper “La Vanguardia”. Sánchez Vicario and her ex-husband were also ordered to pay the bank more than 6.6 million euros.
