German prosecutors said today they had brought charges against three-times
Wimbledon tennis champion Boris Becker for alleged tax evasion.
"There is sufficient reason to suspect tax offences," said the head of the Munich public prosecutor's office, Mr Manfred Wick.
He said the Munich district court had not yet decided whether the charges were admissible for court action to go ahead.
Mr Wick declined to say what the alleged tax offences were. Becker's communications director Mr Robert Luebenoff could not immediately be reached for comment.
