    Tennis great Boris Becker found guilty in bankruptcy trial, could face jail
    Six-time Grand Slam champion Boris Becker was convicted of four charges under the Insolvency Act, including removal of property, concealing debt and two counts of failing to disclose estate assets after he was declared bankrupt.



    LONDON -- Tennis great Boris Becker could face a prison sentence after being found guilty Friday of illicitly moving thousands of dollars from a bank account after he was declared bankrupt.


    A jury at London's Southwark Crown Court convicted Becker on four charges under the Insolvency Act, including removal of property, concealing debt and two counts of failing to disclose estate assets.


    During the trial Becker, 54, said his $50 million career earnings had been swallowed up by payments for an "expensive divorce" and debts when he lost large chunks of his income after retirement.
