German tennis star Boris Becker, who won six Grand Slam titles and earned £39 million ($50 million) during his career, has been jailed for two-and-a-half years by a judge in London for breaching the terms of his bankruptcy.

Becker, 54, was made bankrupt in 2017 but earlier this month he was convicted of two counts of failing to disclose estate and concealing debt and one count of removal of property under Britain’s Insolvency Act.
