Dancing Champ Indicted for Tax Fraud

helio.jpgRu-roh, George. Former Dancing With the Stars champion Helio Castroneves has mambo-ed his way into some trouble, it seems.

The racecar driver is facing tax evasion charges, after allegedly failing to pay more than $5 million to the IRS over a four-year-period, TMZ.com reports. Helio's sister, Katiucia Castroneves, and his lawyer, Alan Miller, were also indicted.

They are accused of trying to "conceal and disguise" Helio's income. One of the charges -- that Helio received $2 million in salary from a Brazilian trading company but made it appear that he only received $200,000.

Shady business, people.
