Boris Becker will be discharged from bankruptcy in Britain, his lawyer announced on Wednesday, after the German tennis star agreed a settlement with some of his creditors.
The 56-year-old, a six-time Grand Slam champion, was declared bankrupt in 2017 with total debts of around 50 million pounds ($62.4 million).
Becker, who won his first Wimbledon final in 1985 aged 17, was later found guilty of hiding hundreds of thousands of pounds in assets after a trial at a London court.
He was jailed for two and a half years in 2022 and deported from Britain later that year. He is prohibited from returning until June 2025.
People are usually automatically discharged from bankruptcy after a year, although Becker’s discharge was suspended by an insolvency judge in 2018.
But Becker requested the suspension be lifted, which his lawyer said was granted by a judge on Tuesday.
