Tennis legend Boris Becker has been jailed for two years for hiding his assets after being declared bankrupt.
The 54-year-old was earlier found guilty of breaching the terms of his 2017 bankruptcy by hiding millions in assets.
During the trial, he told jurors his €47.5m career earnings were swallowed up by an expensive divorce from his first wife, child maintenance payments and "expensive lifestyle commitments".
He said he was "shocked" and "embarrassed" after he was declared bankrupt - but insisted he had co-operated fully with trustees and had acted on expert advice from financial advisers.
The court heard he earned €1.13m form the sale of a car dealership in Germany, which was paid into his business account.
Prosecutors said he then used those funds as a “piggy bank” for his personal expenses.
He was found guilty of transferring funds to nine people, failing to declare a property in his German hometown, hiding an €825,000 bank loan and hiding 75,000 shares in tech firm Breaking Data Corp.
