Helio Castroneves indicted for tax evasion
Dancing with the Stars champ Helio Castroneves was indicted Thursday, Oct. 2, in a federal income tax case in Florida. Castroneves, who charmed judges and the audience with his enthusiasm and infectious smile, is accused by a federal grand jury of siphoning millions of dollars in income to a Panamanian shell company from 1999 to 2004. Now we know why he was smiling ….
The 33-year-old Brazilian-born professional race car driver is expected to appear in a Miami court on Friday, Oct. 3, to face charges of conspiracy and tax evasion. If convicted of all charges, he faces a maximum penalty of 35 years in prison.
His sister and business manager Katiucia Castroneves and his attorney, Alan Miller, were also indicted.
