Boris Becker appears set to be returned to Germany next week, having secured a reduction in his British prison sentence.
Having been convicted of fraud for hiding assets during bankruptcy, the six-time Grand Slam winner is eight months into a two-and-a-half year sentence.
According to the Mirror, Becker was eligible for a British government program that allows foreign prisoners to be returned to their home countries rather than having to complete their full prison sentences.
“I’m sure it will mean a lot to him and his family to be reunited for Christmas,” a spokesperson had said previously.
