Former Grand Slam tennis champion and sports commentator Boris Becker will be aided by a German translator when he stands trial later this month accused of failing to hand over trophies from his glittering career to settle debts, a court heard.

The 54-year-old German national, who was declared bankrupt in June 2017, is accused of not complying with obligations to disclose information.
