Boris Becker’s daughter said she was concerned about her younger brother’s well-being after her father was jailed for bankruptcy fraud.

The six-time Grand Slam winner, who won £ 35 million during his glorious tennis career, was sentenced to 30 months in prison on Friday after a jury found he had misappropriated millions of pounds to avoid paying your debts.

The 54-year-old man was declared bankrupt in June 2017 due to an unpaid loan of over 3 million British pounds at his mansion in Mallorca, Spain.

German-born Becker, who has lived in the UK since 2012, has been convicted on four charges under the Bankruptcy Act.

These include the non-declaration of a £ 1.3 million property in his hometown of Leimen and the concealment of a € 825,000 bank loan (£ 692,000) and 75,000 shares in a technology company.

22-year-old Anna Ermakova struck the verdict with the words that “it is not fair”, her 12-year-old half-brother will be left without his father for a long time.

She told the German newspaper Bild: “I am really shocked that my father was sentenced to two years and six months. I will support him and visit him whenever I can. I hope this will help him survive a bit.

She added that she “helped as much as I could” and wrote to the court in support of her father before he was convicted.

“I wrote a letter to the court to express my concern for my little half-brother Amadeus,” she said.

“After all, he is only 12 and now he will have to cope without a father figure, which he will miss during the difficult stage of his development. It’s not fair to him. It will be difficult for Amadeus. “

Sharing an image of the sea, she previously thanked fans for their support.

She wrote on Instagram: “Thank you for all the support.”

Becker was acquitted of 20 other charges, including nine counts of failing to hand over trophies and medals won during his tennis career.

Becker, a BBC commentator, appeared on the dock at London’s Crown Court Southwark wearing a gray suit and a striped Wimbledon tie in purple and green.

His partner, Lillian de Carvalho Monteiro, and his eldest son, Noah, attended the hearing.

As a mitigation, Becker’s lawyer, Jonathan Leidlow, QC, sought a suspended sentence for his client on the grounds that the lawsuit had “completely ruined his career.”

But Judge Deborah Taylor rejected the request, saying Becker had shown no remorse or admission of guilt.

She told Becker, “I consider what has been described as your falling away from grace. You lost your career and reputation and all your property as a result of your bankruptcy.

But she added: “You have not shown remorse, you have not admitted your guilt and you have tried to distance yourself from insult and bankruptcy.

“While I accepted your humiliation as part of the procedure, there was no humility.

Anna was born after a one-night stand between Becker and Russian waitress Angela Ermakova.

After his birth, the tennis ace was reportedly sentenced to pay around £ 2 million in maintenance fees.

His first wife, Barbara, with whom he had two children, divorced shortly afterwards.

Boris Becker has four children.

Noah and Elias were born to their first wife, Barbara, who won custody of them after the divorce proceedings.

Anna, born to former waitress Ermakova, is now a model and maintains her mother’s surname.

In 2010, Boris and his second wife, Lily, announced the birth of Amadeus Benedict, Edley Louis Becker.
