Three-time Wimbledon champion, Boris Becker, has been found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act relating to his 2017 bankruptcy.

The six-time Grand Slam champion was accused of hiding millions of pounds worth of assets, including two Wimbledon trophies, to avoid paying his debts.

Former world number one Becker was declared bankrupt on June 21, 2017 over an unpaid loan of more than three million pounds (3.9 million dollars) on his estate in Mallorca, Spain.

The 54-year-old German national, who has lived in Britain since 2012, claimed he had cooperated with trustees tasked with securing his assets.

He added that he even offered his wedding ring, and had acted on expert advice.

According to dpa, Becker was supported throughout the trial by his partner Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro.

He was found guilty of four charges under the Insolvency Act by a jury at Southwark Crown Court in London, United Kingdom on Friday.

These included removal of property, as well as two counts of failing to disclose estate and concealing debt.

The three-time Wimbledon winner, who was acquitted of a further 20 counts, was bailed ahead of sentencing at the same court on April 29.
