Wesley Snipes is officially a fugitive of justice. According to the US Attorney's office, a warrant was issued last week after the feds filed charges that the actor defrauded the Internal Revenue Service of millions of dollars.

The "White Men Can't Jump" star is accused of failing to pay nearly $12 million in taxes. Officials allege that Snipes fraudulently claimed refunds in 1996 and 1997, and then failed to file returns between 1999 and 2006.

According to the eight count indictment obtained by TMZ, Snipes and two other defendants, Eddie Ray Kahn and Douglas Rosile, are accused of attempting "through deceit, craft, trickery, and dishonest means to make it appear as if Snipes had no liability for federal income taxes, when in fact defendant Snipes had such liability." Each count carries a maximum prison sentence of five years.

The indictment claims Kahn ran an enterprise promoting fraudulent tax schemes. Rosile was a CPA who allegedly prepared fraudulent tax returns for Kahn's business. According to the charges, Snipes used the services of Kahn and Rosile to defraud the IRS.


The indictment alleges the three men conspired to create a bogus legal argument so Snipes would be exempt from federal income taxes. The feds say in 1997 alone, Snipes fraudulently filed for a refund totalling $7,360,755.00.

As for the whereabouts of the three men, we're told Snipes may be on the lam. Officials say Kahn may have fled to Panama. Rosile has already turned himself in to authorities.

On a side note, Wesley is in Africa filming a movie. They say he's renting a home for $6000 a month while filming. There are also no extradition laws there. So he's safe.
The story is, he met a con artist who told him there is a loophole in the law that says if you make money OUTSIDE of the US, it has to be declared as income. However, if you make money in the US, it's not income. So Wesley believed this, and even filed for back taxes, which the government gave him over $1,000,000!!! So finally, after a few years, the government looked into what he was doing, and said "No no no!!" And they went after him. SO Wsley is going to claim ignorance in this. Believe me, he will probably get away with paying half of the $12,000,000 to the government.
