Three-time Wimbledon champion Boris Becker is facing a prison sentence of up to seven years after today being found guilty of breaking UK insolvency laws.

The six-time Grand Slam champ, 54, was accused of hiding millions of pounds worth of assets, including two Wimbledon trophies, to avoid paying his debts following his 2017 bankruptcy.

Today at Southwark Crown Court he was found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act and acquitted of a further 20 counts.

Becker, a former world tennis number one, was declared bankrupt in June 2017 over an unpaid loan of more than £3million on his estate in Mallorca, Spain. 

But he continued to spend hundreds of pounds at luxury department store Harrods, bought online groceries at Ocado and treated himself to designer Ralph Lauren clothes, jurors had heard.
