WASHINGTON (AP) -- Movie actor Wesley Snipes was indicted Tuesday on eight counts of tax fraud accusing him of trying to cheat the government of $12 million in false refund claims.

Snipes, 44, also failed to file tax returns for six years, according to an indictment unsealed in Tampa, Florida.

Federal prosecutors said that Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds totaling nearly $12 million in 1996 and 1997 on income taxes already paid.
 
When you make the kind of money he makes, he should be more than aware of his finances. :o

"We" will fall for anything.
This dummy basically believed a new twist on that old scam about "taxes are illegal".

Damm him.
I scrap to pay my shat on 1 percent of what he makes.
 
An arrest warrant for the actor has been issued, officials said, adding that his whereabouts are unknown.

Snipes, who had a home in Windermere, Florida, has not been arrested because authorities don't know where he is, the IRS said.


In 2005, South Africa refused to admit him after officials said he tried to enter the country with a forged passport.

"We have a runner boys!"

Snipes to continue filming in Namibia

WINDHOEK, Namibia (AP) -- Wesley Snipes will continue filming as planned in Namibia despite the U.S. warrant for his arrest on tax fraud charges, the producer of "Gallowwalker" said Monday.

Joanne Reay said Snipes, who is the lead actor in the movie, was on location in the desert near the town of Swakob. Reay said Snipes had traveled to Namibia to shoot the film and not to flee U.S. justice. She said the plan was to stay until the third week in December.

"As far as we understand, Wesley is not going to be arrested in Namibia," she told The Associated Press.
