LONDON – The British news agency Press Association reports that German tennis legend Boris Becker has been released from prison after serving eight months of his sentence and now faces deportation from Britain.
The 55-year-old German, who has lived in Britain since 2012, was released on Thursday morning ahead of deportation, the PA reported, without citing sources.
Three-time Wimbledon champion Becker was sentenced to 30 months in prison in April for illegally transferring large sums of money and hiding assets after declaring bankruptcy.
He had been convicted by London’s Southwark Crown Court of four charges under the Insolvency Act, including asset stripping, debt concealment and two counts of failing to disclose assets. He would normally have had to serve at least 15 months before being eligible for release.
Becker rose to stardom in 1985 at the age of 17 when he became the first player to win the Wimbledon singles title.
The former world number one was declared bankrupt in June 2017.
