Fallen tennis ace Boris Becker could be booted out of the UK after serving his prison sentence. The German, jailed for bankruptcy fraud, has lived in Britain since 2012 but will be considered for deportation as he does not have British citizenship. Foreigners sentenced to more than 12 months in prison could be kicked out of the UK as their expulsion “is deemed to be conducive to the public good”.
