Boris Becker, the former Wimbledon winner, served eight months for concealing £2.5 million during bankruptcy proceedings. After his December 2022 release, he was deported to Germany. Becker, aged 57, claims his time in prison was harsh. He served part of his 30-month sentence at both HMP Wandsworth and HMP Huntercombe. Becker stated that prison was a daily struggle. He has now resumed his career in tennis commentary. He claims that anyone who says prison is easy is being untruthful.
