Dubai party 'trouble' for Snipes
Add comments
Prosecutors in Florida said actor Wesley Snipes attended a lavish party in Dubai while free on bail as he appeals a tax conviction.
US lawyers in Ocala are asking a judge to restrict Snipes' travel outside the United States because he attended a 20 million dollar party last November for the opening of the 1.5 billion dollar Atlantis Hotel resort.
A jury convicted the action star last year of three counts of wilfully failing to file his income taxes.
He is free on bail while he appeals the convictions and his three-year prison sentence to the 11th Circuit Court in Atlanta.
A federal judge last year said Snipes could only travel to London and Bangkok for work on movies.
Snipes' lawyer declined to comment.
