* MUNICH, Germany -- German prosecutors won't try to further punish Boris Becker, who was given a fine and probation for tax evasion.
Last week state attorney Matthias Musiol demanded Becker be given a a 3 1/2-year jail sentence for avoiding $1.7 million in taxes in the early 1990s.
Instead, the three-time Wimbledon champion on Thursday was given two years' probation -- the maximum possible probationary term under German law -- and fined $500,000.
Becker will also have to pay the costs of the trial. He already has paid off $3 million in taxes owed, and said immediately after the ruling that he wouldn't appeal.
The sentence ended a 10-year investigation that Becker called "brutal" and said helped prompt him to quit tennis in 1999.
