I’m a former Wimbledon finalist but now I face four-year jail term for fraud

FORMER Wimbledon finalist Arantxa Sanchez Vicario is facing a four-year jail term if found guilty of committing fraud.

The Spaniard is alleged to have emptied out her bank account to avoid paying a debt to Banque de Luxembourg.

The bank chased Vicario for £6.4million and was forced to take the case the court after the payment was not made.

Prosecutors have accused Vicario and her ex-husband Joseph Santacana of moving their assets to avoid making the payment – which was owed to the bank after they covered a fine against Vicario in a previous tax fraud case.

The case will go to trial in September and if found guilty Vicario faces up to four years in prison, with her ex-husband facing a similar sentence.
