Snipes to Continue Film Shoot Despite Tax Fraud
Wesley Snipes will continue to shoot the movie “Gallowwalker” in Namibia despite being charged for tax fraud in the U.S.
Snipes, who is best known for his role in the vampire action flick, “Blade,” plays a cursed gunman whose victims pull a “Night of the Living Dead” and come back to haunt him in “Gallowwalker.”
CBC reports that the film’s producer, Joanne Reay, made a statement Monday regarding the charges and their effect on the film shoot.
“We are aware of the issue around the tax charges but we are not discussing it,” Reay said.
Snipes was charged with eight counts of tax fraud on Oct. 17 in Tampa, Fla. after authorities discovered that the actor had illegally received $12 million US in tax refunds between 1996 and 1997.
It appears that U.S. authorities will not travel to Namibia to arrest him.
