Castroneves acquitted of tax evasion charges

04/17/2009 -
Miami, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Indy car driver and "Dancing With The Stars"
winner Helio Castroneves has been found not guilty of six charges of tax
evasion on Friday. Castroneves' sister, Katiucia, who also serves as his
business manager, was acquitted of six tax evasion charges as well.
The 12-member jury, however, remained hung on the one count of conspiracy
against both defendants.
Castroneves' sports attorney, Alan Miller, was found not guilty on all three
tax evasion counts and one conspiracy charge.
"I just want to thank God, and my fans and all of the people who prayed for
me," Castroneves said outside the U.S. Federal Court in Miami after the
verdict was read. "It has been a very difficult place to be in."
Castroneves, 33, left Friday night for Long Beach, CA, where he will attend
this weekend's IndyCar race.
"Instead of going to Disneyland, I want to go to Long Beach and race,"
he said. "I'm going back to racing."
Castroneves will be back in his No.3 ride for Penske Racing in Saturday's
practice sessions and qualifying at Long Beach. Penske will field a third
entry for Will Power, who filled-in for Castroneves two weeks ago at St.
Petersburg, FL. Power drove to a sixth-place finish in his debut with the
team.
Brian Barnhart, president of competition and racing operations for the
sanctioning Indy Racing League, said Castroneves will be allowed to
participate in the morning practice sessions.
The jury on Thursday reached a unanimous decision on two counts against
Castroneves, but was deadlocked on five other charges against him. The panel
also reached a verdict on one charge against Katiucia Castroneves, 35, but
was deadlocked on six other counts. A verdict on all four charges against
Miller, 71, had been reach.
Federal Judge Donald Graham said he would not read any of the verdicts until
the jury had reached a decision on all counts against Castroneves, his sister
and attorney. Graham also ordered the panel to continue deliberating on the
other counts. Jury deliberations began one week ago.
Castroneves' attorneys filed a motion for a mistrial Tuesday, but Graham
denied the request.
Castroneves was accused of failing to report $5.5 million in income to the
Internal Revenue Service from 1999 to 2004. The IRS claimed he owned $2.3
million in back taxes.
The Brazilian driver won the Indianapolis 500 in 2001 and '02, and finished
second to Scott Dixon in this year's IndyCar points championship. Castroneves
elevated his celebrity status in 2007 when he and partner Julianne Hough won
"Dancing With The Stars," the hit reality competition show on ABC.
