She said of Becker: “One has the impression of a man with his head in the sand.” The bankruptcy application was made by the private bankers Arbuthnot Latham & Co in connection with a judgment debt owed to them by Becker dating back to 2015. Becker’s lawyers had argued there was sufficient evidence to show that he would be able to pay the debt soon through a refinancing arrangement, involving remortgaging a property in Majorca, which was expected to raise €6m. His advocate told the registrar his instructions from Becker were that it was expected the deal would be approved by a Spanish bank in approximately one month.

The judge said: “He should have thought about that a long time ago.” She added: “It is not often the case that a professional person has a judgment [debt] outstanding against them since October 2015. This is a historic debt.” Advertisement Briggs said: “He is not a sophisticated individual when it comes to finances. I am asking for a real last chance for Mr Becker to come good … It has just taken longer than anticipated.” In a statement Becker said: “I was surprised and disappointed that Arbuthnot Latham chose to bring these proceedings against me. This order relates to one disputed loan which I was due to repay in full in one month’s time.

How Pakistan found cricketing redemption Read more The 19 men were accused of spreading “communal disharmony” which is considered sedition and is punishable by life imprisonment. “These arrests are patently absurd, and the 19 men should be released immediately,” said Amnesty International’s India programme director, Asmita Basu. “Even if the arrested men had supported Pakistan, as the police claim, that is not a crime. Supporting a sporting team is a matter of individual choice, and arresting someone for cheering a rival team clearly violates their right to freedom of expression.” According to Amnesty International, the initial report by Madhya Pradesh police states: “[The accused] chanted ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ in support of the Pakistan cricket team … They celebrated Pakistan’s win by bursting crackers and distributing sweets … Their actions suggested that they were trying to conspire against the Indian government by supporting http://www.atlantafalconsauthorizedstore.com/desmond-trufant-jersey-elite Pakistan in the cricket match … Because of them, there is an atmosphere of unrest in the village.” Unstoppable Pakistan crush India by 180 runs to win Champions Trophy final Read more India Today, however, reported that police were not concerned by which team the men supported but by the pro-Pakistan and anti-India slogans.

Indian law defines sedition as any act or attempt “to bring into hatred or contempt, or … excite disaffection towards the government.” Asmita Basu said: “These cases show just why the sedition law should be immediately repealed. This law is excessively broad and vague and makes it easy to silence people who are legitimately exercising their right to freedom of expression. Nobody should have to go to prison merely because they are accused of causing offense. The sedition law has no place in a rights-respecting society, let alone one that has a proud tradition of pluralism and debateBoris Becker has been declared bankrupt over a debt outstanding since October 2015.
