Boris Becker spotted with big floral bouquet as he faces being jailed for up to 7 years
He claimed he had co-operated with trustees tasked with securing his assets, even offering up his wedding ring, and had relied on the advisers who managed his life.However, Boris, who was supported in court by his partner Lilian de Carvalho Monteiro and eldest son Noah, was found guilty of four charges.The court heard Boris received 1.13 million euros (about £950,000) from the sale of a Mercedes car dealership he owned in Germany, which was paid into a business account used as a "piggy bank" for his personal expenses.He was found guilty of transferring 427,00 euros (£356,000) to nine recipients, including the accounts of his ex-wife Barbara and estranged wife "Lilly" Becker, the mother of his fourth child.He was further convicted of failing to declare a property in his home town of Leimen, hiding an 825,000 euro (almost £700,000) bank loan on the house as well as 75,000 shares in tech firm Breaking Data Corp.Earlier this week Boris was embraced by his girlfriend as he smoked during a break in a meeting with documentary maker George Chignell in London.Last weekend, he was pictured with Lilly and their 12-year-old boy in south London.Becker's mother Elvira Becker, 86, has begged the judge not to send her son to jail, saying earlier this month that he is "a decent boy overall".
