Helio Castroneves Begs For Tax Evasion Trial Delay

Filed under: Zportz > Legal Matters

helio.jpg

Race car guy Helio Castroneves is scheduled to face the Tax Man in court in March of 2009.

We've mentioned previously that he's accused of dodging U.S. taxes on about $5.5 million in income by using offshore accounts.

However, he's begged a judge for a delay because he could lose his 'job'.

The trial would fall smack dab in the middle of racing season and the team he races for, Penske, would have to fire him soon so they can get someone more stable in their driver's seat.

Helio's lawyers argued that it would be "catastrophic" for him to lose his job and that "a presumed innocent defendant should not face the prospect of losing his career based solely on the return of an indictment."

Pay your taxes, y'all!

It's not worth the headaches, right?

    Paying Income Tax is unconstitutional. As in it's not in the constitution, while every other form of taxation is.

    Oh, Helio, be strong!! Be truthful! Go Brazil!!! Ole, Ole, Ooooleee, Ooooollleee!

    Americans are so arrogant ~ the man has been accused, but when you say ~ "Pay your taxes, y'all! It's not worth the headaches, right?", then you are implying that Helio did not pay his taxes, which is announcing his guilt, just by reason of being accused. There could be errors by Accountants or any number of things that might find him blameless.
    —————————————————–
    Americans don't even respect their own historical credo of "innocent until proven guilty", unless it is YOU that is accused.
