Boris Becker, a former German tennis player, was sentenced to two years and six months in prison by a London court on Friday for concealing hundreds of millions of pounds in assets after being declared bankrupt.

Following a bankruptcy trial, Becker was found guilty of four offences under the UK’s Insolvency Act, including failing to disclose, hiding, and taking significant assets.

After his 2017 bankruptcy, the 54-year-old six-time Grand Slam champion was found guilty of transferring money to his ex-wife Barbara and estranged wife Sharlely.

At London’s Southwark Crown Court, Judge Deborah Taylor told him, “It is significant you have not demonstrated regret or recognition of your culpability.”

“While I understand your embarrassment as a result of these procedures, you have demonstrated no humility.”

Becker would serve half of his sentence in prison and the other half on probation, she said. Becker, who was in court with his spouse Lillian and kid Noah, gazed straight ahead and showed no expression as the sentence was read.
