I suppose so but I still feel sorry for the guy.

So gets deported but also gets to keep his hidden money since he will be out of reach from British justice?

Should have been 10 years at least to change cost/benefit equation in favour of Justice

They should still let him do Wimbledon commentary from prison. I'm sure they have a big TV to watch it on.

Deporting Boris

No not the PM the former tennis player

Boris Becker has reportedly been transferred to a prison used to detain foreign criminals, indicating he will be deported from the UK at the end of his sentence.

According to the Times, Becker’s lawyer told journalists in Berlin that he had been transferred to HMP Huntercombe in Oxfordshire.

The former world No 1 tennis player had been detained at Wandsworth prison, a category B prison, after he was jailed for two and a half years for concealing £2.5m of assets to avoid paying money he owed after his bankruptcy. He will serve half of the sentence.

The German, 54, has lived in the UK since 2012 but is understood not to have British citizenship.

His lawyer reportedly told journalists in Berlin on Tuesday: “Boris Becker was transferred to Huntercombe prison today. It is a category C prison, which means it has a low security level.”

The latest inspection of HMP Huntercombe in 2017 found that of 197 men released from the prison, 185 had been deported immediately.

Becker will qualify for automatic deportation because he is a foreign national without British citizenship who has received a prison sentence of more than 12 months.
