The three times Wimbledon champion Boris Becker has denied hiding assets including a Chelsea flat and £1.2m in cash from bankruptcy trustees, in a prosecution that could lead to seven years in jail. The German former tennis star, who was declared bankrupt in June 2017, appeared in Westminster magistrates’ court accused of failing to comply with a legal obligation to disclose financial information. His lawyer, Jonathan Caplan, said: “These charges will be vigorously contested.”
