re: Boris Becker Branded Devil by Estranged Wife
Boris Becker Set to Be Deported to Germany Next Week After Hiding £2.5 Mil in Fraud Case
The former tennis champion was jailed earlier this year for hiding more than £2m in assets and will be deported next week without having to serve his remaining sentence
BBC 6 DEC 2022
Boris Becker is set to be deported to Germany next week having served less than eight months of his two-and-a-half year sentence.
The three-time Wimbledon winner, 54, was jailed in April for hiding £2.5million of assets in a bankruptcy fraud case.
He is being held in HMP Huntercombe in Oxfordshire where foreign nationals are detained ahead of deportation.
Becker is expected to return to Germany next week and will not have to serve his remaining sentence.
He has qualified for a fast-track scheme that sends criminals to their home countries before their release date in an effort to reduce pressure on British jails and save money.
Becker was first held at HMP Wandsworth, where he was visited by his girlfriend, Lillian de Carvalho Monteiro.
A Home Office spokesman said: “Any foreign national who is convicted of a crime and given a prison sentence is considered for deportation at the earliest opportunity.”
