Boris Becker was pictured arriving at court today after being declared bankrupt and accused of not complying with obligations to disclose information.
The German born tennis star, who now lives in London, is being prosecuted by the Insolvency Service and facing 19 criminal charges.
52-year-old Boris arrived at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London on Thursday dressed in all black with a pink tie and wearing a face mask.
He was declared bankrupt in June 2017 with Insolvency Service officials revealing in September that Becker is facing criminal charges over claims he hid his property portfolio along with bank accounts and shares in an artificial intelligence firm during the hearing.
Becker achieved huge fame after winning Wimbledon and becoming the youngest men’s singles champion in 1985 at the age of 17.
He collected 49 singles titles in a career spanning more than two decades.
After being declared officially bankrupt in 2017, Boris auctioned off a number of personal belongings from his playing career, including his trophy for winning the 1989 US Open, which drew a bid of over £150,000.
Also included in the 82 items of memorabilia up for sale by the six-time Grand Slam winner, was a watch given to him as a gift by Novak Djokovic, with the auction raising £680,000 in total.
Becker was originally made bankrupt at London's High Court on June 21, 2017, but protested he was not allowed sufficient time to settle his debt, after failing to pay £3.3 million to private banking firm Arbuthnot Latham.
At the time he labelled the case against him a "gravy train for the suits", and added that he "will be coming after the people who forced this process through."
Restrictions on his finances were initially imposed for just a year but this was extended for a further 12 years until 2031 when the Official Receiver investigated undisclosed transactions occurring before and after the bankruptcy proceedings, totalling over £4.5m.
The measures meant Boris could not borrow more than £500 without informing the lender he is bankrupt.
The Bankruptcy Restrictions Undertaking was accepted on 17 October 2019 and lasts until 16 October 2031.
