We had reported on Helio Castrovenes’ trial for tax evasion. The automobile race car driver and Dancing with the Stars contestant was found not guilty a week ago in Miami.
Attorney Roy Black noted, “Nobody wants to hear the excuse that ‘I didn’t know what I was signing; I didn’t know what my accountants were doing.’ But in a criminal context, the government has to prove you knew what you were signing and you intentionally, deliberately did it to evade taxes.”
Castroneves participated in last weekend’s Long Beach (California) Grand Prix. He finished seventh.
