Miami Finals Summary: Carlos Alcras - Caspar Road (Sports 1)
Boris Becker, a former tennis player who is considered a legend to this day thanks to six Grand Slam titles and an Olympic gold medal he achieved between 1984 and retirement in 1999, was convicted tonight (Friday) of four counts of fraud and may be sent to prison.
The 54-year-old German was also tried last month and tonight was convicted in another court hearing in London after it was found that he did not report assets he owned despite the fact that he had already been declared bankrupt about five years ago as a result of losses of over 100 million euros.
Becker was released on bail and is now awaiting sentencing on April 29, when it will be determined whether he will be sent to actual prison.
The Daily Mail reported that he could be sent to prison for up to seven years after being convicted of four different offenses and found, among other things, that he transferred huge sums of hundreds of thousands of pounds to his ex-wives, lied about the villa he owned and managed to hide about 700,000 pounds in order to evade From paying debts that have already reached £ 3 million.
