London, April 6 (ANI): Wesley Snipes, who was serving a three-year sentence for tax evasion, has been released from a US prison.
The 50-year-old was convicted in 2008 after prosecutors said that he failed to file any tax returns for at least a decade after earning millions of dollars, Sky News reported.
He belonged to a group that challenged the US government's right to collect taxes and had appealed in an Atlanta court, claiming that he didn't get a fair trial.
But Snipes entered the McKean federal prison in Pennsylvania in December 2010.
Following his release, a Bureau of Corrections spokeswoman said that the 'The White Men Can't Jump' star will be overseen by the New York Community Corrections Office until July 19. (ANI)
