Warum Boris Becker 231 Tage im Gefängnis war | Markus Lanz vom 17. September 2025

Boris Becker was the German tennis prodigy. At the age of 17, he won Wimbledon for the first time in 1985. But 40 years later, Boris Becker looks back on his past somewhat differently. Especially his more recent past: his time in prison. He was sentenced to 231 days in prison in London for delaying bankruptcy filing, but it could have been seven years, as Boris Becker explains. He explains to Markus Lanz what this period did to him and what lessons he learned from his mistakes.
