Tennis great Boris Becker was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison on Friday for illicitly transferring large amounts of money and hiding assets after he was declared bankrupt.

The three-time Wimbledon champion was convicted earlier this month on four charges under the Insolvency Act and had faced a maximum sentence of seven years in prison.

Judge Deborah Taylor announced the sentence after hearing arguments from both the prosecutor and Becker’s attorney. She told the former top-ranked player that he’s shown no remorse.

He should have done something like murder Kate Steinle; then he'd be walking the streets.

He was convicted of FOUR of the TWENTY-FOUR charges against him. He was sentenced to 2-1/2 years - of which no more than 12 months may be on parole. Meaning: Guaranteed 18 months behind bars.

Boris was convicted for tax evasion previously. In Germany.

He got a suspended sentence.

Then he did it again. In the UK. And stupidly continued to blame others after conviction and did not show remorse.
