Good news for Boris Becker after the Laureus World Sport Awards – the Leimen native’s personal bankruptcy has ended
Legal success for Boris Becker: The 56-year-old tennis idol’s personal insolvency has ended as a result of an agreement with the insolvency administrators. Becker’s lawyers confirmed this on Thursday in a statement that was available to the SID.
Accordingly, the High Court ordered the immediate discharge of Becker’s remaining debts, “which means that our client is released from any further liability arising from the insolvency debts,” says the statement from lawyer Christian-Oliver Moser: “The terms of the agreement with The insolvency administrators are confidential and our client will not comment further on this process or other details at this time.”
Final sigh of relief
In 2017, a court declared Becker bankrupt. In 2022, the former tennis star was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for allegedly concealing assets and debts. The sums involved were millions, and Becker had always emphasized that he had not broken any laws. In December 2022, he was released early due to a special regulation for foreign prisoners and was deported to Germany.
Now the six-time Grand Slam winner can finally breathe a sigh of relief as he is officially debt-free in Great Britain. According to experts, Becker had to continue to add large parts of his income to the insolvency estate in Germany since his release from prison. “I can only spend what I earn. I’ve learned that I have to be much more careful with my advisors and my good friends,” Becker said about the bankruptcy immediately after his release from prison.
Traveling to Wimbledon again soon
He was “purified, I saw my mistakes. I made mistakes for years, had false friends. You become comfortable, fat. This prison stay brought me back,” said Becker in the Sat1 interview at the time. Since then he has devoted himself again to the beautiful things, especially his passion for tennis. As an expert and interim trainer for the young Danish star Holger Rune, Becker was back in business after his prison stay.
Becker had announced that he wanted to travel to his favorite tournament, Wimbledon, again as soon as possible. He conquered the hearts of millions of fans on the sacred turf in 1985 with his triumph as a 17-year-old, but the three-time tournament champion was recently unable to enter Great Britain. “I’m working on all fronts to come back next year, in 2025. That’s an option,” Becker told the Telegraph: “For me, the Interior Ministry can grant permission after October 2024. You decide, not me.”
