The life of Hollywood stars is full of all kinds of temptations and temptations. After all, money and fame can make everyone dizzy. And sometimes, the consequences are very deplorable. For example, as it happened with the famous actor and star of the movie "Blade", Wesley Snipes. Every law-abiding citizen of any country must pay taxes to the state. And this is no secret. However, not everyone wants to share their profits , and they are looking for all possible ways to avoid it.
The news that Wesley Snipes is in prison shocked all the fans. As it turned out later, the actor owes the state 15 million dollars. In 2008, the court sentenced the star to three years in prison. And, in spite of all attempts by lawyers to win this process and reach a suspended sentence, the verdict was not made in favor of the celebrity. It did not help even that Wesley Snipes confessed to tax evasion and was ready to fully compensate, but the court did not mitigate the punishment and set the highest measure.
After the verdict, the lawyers of the star filed an appeal. The whole process lasted for two years, and all this time Wesley was at large. But in 2010, the appeal was rejected, and Snipes was behind bars. The actor served his sentence in a correctional facility in the state of Pennsylvania.
When did Wesley Snipes get out of jail?
In 2013, in April, the actor was released on parole, but remained under house arrest. Although by decision of the court, the release was scheduled for July 19, 2013. Perhaps, the regime was relaxed due to the exemplary behavior of the celebrity. After all, before that, he had never had any problems with the law.
