Boris Becker: Former tennis star is free again

Boris Becker (55) has been released from prison. This is reported unanimously by the British news agency PA and the "Bild" newspaper. This would mean that the former tennis pro would be free again after around seven months in prison.

According to "Bild" information, Becker is already on his way to the airport. He should be flown to Germany immediately, according to the reports. The former tennis star is said to be allowed to return to his adopted home of Great Britain only after the entire sentence has expired. However, he no longer has to serve the remaining 2.5 years of his prescribed prison sentence there.

The early release has become possible because of a special release and deportation program that benefits foreign prisoners. Becker was sentenced to two and a half years in prison last April at a trial in London for insolvency offenses. He had concealed assets worth millions from his insolvency administrators.
