The famous tennis player will have to serve a sentence of two and a half years!
Boris Becker reached the center of media events after he declared bankruptcy and delayed the process for five years in order to avoid the most severe punishment.
Becker diverted 450,000 dollars from his property and transferred it to third parties, including his two ex-wives Barbara (55) and Lilly (45). He is also said to have hidden ownership of property in his hometown of Leimen, a loan of 870,000 dollars from a bank in Liechtenstein, and shares in a data transmission company worth 80,000 dollars. The court found that these counts of the accusation were proven. Let us remind you, that he is also accused of hiding two Wimbledon trophies in order to avoid paying debts.
However, this is not the only scandal in the career of a famous tennis player. In addition to going down in history as the youngest tennis player to win Wimbledon, Boris Becker intrigued everyone with his actions outside of tennis. Boris has achieved significant sporting success. He won six Grand Slam tournaments in the individual competition and won a gold medal at the Olympic Games in Barcelona. From 2013 to 2016, he was the coach of Novak Djokovic, and Tennis magazine ranked him 18th among the 40 best tennis players in the period from 1965 to 2005.
His father planned for Boris to be a lawyer or an architect, but he showed a talent for tennis at the age of three, while he won the first tournament at the age of six. Becker's childhood was beautiful and full of success, while his emotional life was full of scandals and bizarre events. The tennis player was first married to Barbara Feltus, with whom he has two sons, and this couple did not hide their love, they were even too exposed. Namely, they posed naked on the cover of a magazine, and the photographer was her father.
The same evening when he decided to end his career, he had an argument with pregnant Babara and went for a drink in a restaurant. There he met model Angela Ermakova with whom he ended up the same night. In his biography, Boris described that everything with Angela lasted a few seconds, however, she informed him nine months later that he had become the father of a girl.
After the affair was revealed, Barbara moved with her children to Miami, and Becker had to pay her 15 million in the name of divorce and relinquish her apartment in Florida.
After all this, there was an affair of tax evasion for which he was accused by Germany, and the famous Boris Becker became a person with a file. He once stated that he could not sleep due to high pressure, so he combined sleeping pills and whiskey and lived like that for years.
It took Becker a long time to settle down and stop going from relationship to relationship, and he even returned to one woman twice. This is Lilly Kerssenberg, with whom she has a son, however, the couple divorced in 2018.
