MIAMI AP – On top of the world a few months ago, Brazilian race car driver and “Dancing with the Stars” champ Helio Castroneves faces possible prison time if convicted at a tax evasion trial that began Monday with jury selection.
Castroneves, a two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, smiled broadly as he entered Miami’s downtown federal courthouse. Prosecutors say Castroneves, his business-manager sister Katiucia and Michigan attorney Alan R. Miller conspired to hide about $5.5 million in income from the Internal Revenue Service using offshore accounts.
