Boris Becker has denied all the allegations against him
Boris Becker earlier this month was acquitted of 20 charges, including nine counts of failing to hand over trophies and medals he won during a fantastic tennis career. Becker told the juror that he knows nothing about his honours which also includes the whereabouts of two of three Wimbledon titles.
After his bankruptcy reports in 2017, Becker was seen to have transferred hundreds of thousands of pounds from his business account to some other accounts including that of his ex-wife Barbara and his former wife Sharlely Becker. The German legend was also caught not declaring a property in Germany and he also concealed a 825,000 euro ($871,000) loan. Reports also suggest that he had shares in a technology firm. Despite everything going against him, Boris Becker has denied all the allegations even ahead of his sentencing.
