Boris Becker was released from prison on Thursday morning. The BBC understands Becker will be deported from the United Kingdom. A Home Office spokesperson told BBC Sport: "Any foreign national who is convicted of a crime and given a prison sentence is considered for deportation at the earliest opportunity."

The prison service drove him to an airport where he boarded a private plane, he's gone.

Had to declare bankruptcy after a failed venture of some sort but hid some of his assets from the insolvency service.

His real downfall was not joining the freemasons who would have nobbled the criminal justice service on his behalf.

Yes, it's striking the contrast this case highlights. Boris will be alright though. He'll be able to flog his story about life in a British prison to Bild or some other Kraut red-top and he'll be rolling in it once more.
