Valeria Mazza - Sports Illustrated swim suit model accused of tax evasion

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Celebrities with Style



Argentinian supermodel and mom of four Valeria Mazza may be doing some hard time as a result of alleged tax-evasion which may explain why she's dressed as Al Capone.
The Sports Illustrated swim suit issue star and her husband supposedly owe almost $2 million in back taxes and fines. The charges are primarily that they improperly classified expenses for things like travel and also tried to hide income made in other countries. Oops.

Is it just us, or does the idea of a bikini model going to prison kind of sound like a soft-core porn film? The kind that has racy shower scenes with dropped soap and dropped towels? Plus the spice of forbidden love?

Not that we've ever seen one of those movies, even when they turn up on cable. We change the channel!

Mazza and her husband are fighting the charges, and for the sake of her children we hope she's able to work out things with the "Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos" a.k.a. Argentina's I.R.S. No one wants to see their jailbird mom show up on Cinemax Late Night!
