Snipes: 'I'm a victim of racism'

Wesley Snipes has slammed the media for portraying him as a "bad guy" after he was charged with tax fraud, claiming he is a victim of racism.

Snipes, 45, is due to stand trial next month in Florida on charges he fraudulently claimed tax refunds of almost $12m (€8.3m) in 1996 and 1997. He is also accused of failing to file tax returns from 1999 to 2004.
