Well, Edwin Kanguatjivi told Reuters that Mr. Snipes is filming a movie in Namibia. “It is confirmed. He is definitely here.” The United States does not have an extradition treaty with Namibia.
Meanwhile, a South African report states that Snipes is filming the movie Gallowwalker, and that its’ producers have asked to delay Snipes’ return to the United States until December, when filming has completed.
Snipes has been in trouble in the past: reckless driving on a motorcycle, a phony South African passport, and carrying a concealed weapon. Snipes faces up to sixteen years in prison if convicted on all of the tax charges.
Joe Kristan of Roth Tax Updates has a great summary of the Snipes charges. And the Los Angeles Times has a good background article, too.
