Helio Castroneves Indicted for Tax Evasion
Former Dancing With the Stars champion Helio Castroneves is in big trouble with the IRS.
The racecar driver is facing tax evasion charges, after allegedly failing to pay more than $5 million to the IRS over a four-year-period, TMZ.com reports.
Helio's sister, Katiucia Castroneves, and his lawyer, Alan Miller, were also indicted. They are accused of trying to "conceal and disguise" Helio's income.
One of the charges is that Helio received $2 million in salary from a Brazilian trading company but made it appear that he only received $200,000.
The two-time Indianapolis 500 champ will be in a Miami court on Friday to face charges of conspiracy and tax evasion. If he's convicted, Helio could face a maximum penalty of 35 years in prison.
