Boris Becker says he wouldn’t have made it out of prison if he felt like a ‘victim’ Tennis star served 231 days in prison after being found guilty of hiding assets and loans.
Becker fell far short of repaying his creditors in full, but Chief Insolvency and Companies Court Judge Nicholas Briggs said it would be “perverse” not to end the case given the efforts Becker made.
“On the spectrum of bankrupts who range from ‘difficult as possible and doing everything to frustrate the trustee’s inquiries’ to ‘co-operative, providing information and delivering up assets’, Mr Becker clearly falls on the right side of the line," Briggs wrote.
Former tennis superstar Boris Becker has opened up on the 231 days he spent in prison, saying that it was a “huge embarrassment” but that he doesn’t “feel sorry” for himself.
I never felt like a victim and very early on I was trying to take responsibility for my actions, good and bad.
