Boris Becker will soon be deported to Germany – claimed that the “Sun” Kiev announces the liberation of other areas – the night update without photos

According to a report in the British tabloid “Sun”, ex-tennis star Boris Becker, who was imprisoned in Britain, could soon be deported to Germany. The 54-year-old is in an accelerated procedure that will allow foreign detainees to be released much earlier, they say.

“He’s signed up for a program to make sure he gets home in time for Christmas,” a prison source told The Sun. When asked, Becker’s German lawyer Christian-Oliver Moser declined to comment on the newspaper report.

Becker was sentenced to two and a half years in prison at the end of Aprilbecause he had hidden millions of assets from his trustees. He has been held in a lower security prison west of London for several months. Under British law, prisoners can be released on parole if they have served at least half of their sentence. For Becker, that would be 15 months, the deadline is July 29, 2023.

According to the Sun, the release and deportation program is designed to ease the pressure on Britain’s overcrowded prisons. Under this scheme, any foreign prisoner who can be released and deported up to 12 months before the earliest date of release is eligible. A spokesman for the UK Home Office told the newspaper: “Any alien sentenced to prison for a criminal offense will be eligible for deportation at the earliest opportunity.”
