Posted on October 3rd, 2008 by Hot Momma

Helio Castroneves brought to arraignment in cuffs and shacklesAgain I will say this is very sad to hear. TMZ reports Helio was brought into court for arraignment in cuffs and shackles, and cried throughout the hearing.

The Dancing with the Stars champ, pleaded not guilty to seven charges of tax fraud. He had to give up his passport, and won’t be allowed anywhere outside the US — though interestingly he can race this weekend in Atlanta.

Bond was set at $10 million, $8 mil of which is coming out of an account in the Netherlands. His lawyer was also arraigned along with Helio’s sister, who was allegedly in on the tax scheme.

You just can’t mess around too much with the tax man!
