Boris Becker's Spanish villa seized
Former tennis ace BORIS BECKER's Spanish mansion has been confiscated by authorities to pay off his outstanding debts.
The German sports star was told by a court in Palma, Majorca that the nine-bedroom property would be auctioned off for £6 million after he failed to pay a builder's bill of £340,000.
His lawyer, Matthais Kuhn, argued the real estate agent who sold Becker the property in 1995 should have to pay the bill for carpentry, plumbing and layering on a basketball court. His argument was rejected by the judge.
Becker will also have to pay an additional £20,000 in court fees and interest.
