Earl in the dark as usual..

"As a result of that, we will get (the indictment), review it and move forward."
Indy Racing League president Terry Angstadt reacted with surprise to the indictment. "We were clearly a little caught off guard to say the least, but he's certainly innocent until proven guilty," he said. |
I guess you can say he cheats on and off the track.. |

What's more dangerous? Being in prison or driving a Gomermobile?

Castroneves Indicted on Tax Charges
IndyCar Series star Helio Castroneves is facing federal tax charges in Miami.
A grand jury on Thursday returned a tax evasion indictment against the 33-year-old Castroneves, alleging conspiracy and six counts of tax evasion from 1999 through 2002.
Also indicted were Castroneves' sister and business manager, Katiucia Castroneves, and his attorney, Alan Miller (charged only with conspiracy), who served as treasurer and secretary, respectively, of Castroneves Racing Inc. Helio Castroneves was president. Each count of the conspiracy and tax evasion charges are punishable by a maximum of five years in federal prison.
According to the government's court filings, Castroneves Racing served to manage the driver's day-to-day career operations. According to the indictment, Seven Promotions Corp., a company incorporated in Panama and controlled by Helio and Kati Castroneves, along with another family member, was used to conceal and disguise the true amount of Helio's income, by transferring money through various bank accounts, as well as disguising payments intended for Castroneves as payments made to the company.
The indictment alleges, among other things, that Miller filed fraudulent federal income-tax returns on Castroneves' behalf that failed to report approximately $5,550,000 in income received from Penske and Castroneves' sponsor Coimex, a Brazilian trading company.
The government further contends that to conceal the more than $5 million in income not reported in tax filings, the defendants testified falsely during a February 2004 civil trial related to matters concerning Seven Promotions.
Castroneves must appear in federal court in Miami on Friday to answer the indictment. It is unclear how the court appearance might affect the Castroneves' participation in the Petit Le Mans sports car race this weekend.
Castroneves, 33, a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil, is a resident of Coral Gables, Fla. A two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500 in 2001 and 2002, and runner-up to Scott Dixon in the IndyCar Series championship this year, Castroneves also achieved celebrity status last year as the winner of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars" reality show competition with dance partner Julianne Hough. |
Coming soon, to the TV screen near you = "Dancing With The Inmates" ?!

Castroneves Pleads Innocent in Tax Fraud Case
IndyCar Series star Helio Castroneves has pleaded not guilty to charges that he used offshore accounts to evade U.S. taxes on more than $5 million in income. The 33-year-old Brazilian appeared in federal court in Miami Friday, and was duly released on $10m bail. His lawyer said Castroneves would take part in this weekend's Petit Le Mans sports car race at Road Atlanta. |
And since Brazil does NOT have an "Extradiction Agreement" with US are we possibly looking at a FUGITIVE ?!?!

Right now Helium is restricted to Broward County in Florida and he will not be able to go anywhere without a permission from a Federal judge - so we are talking about no appearance at Surfers, and even more headaches afterwards.
And... will Penske want to continue having a felon as one if their drivers ??? 
Doesn't look too good.
