MIAMI (AFP) - US-based Brazilian racing driver Helio Castroneves, a two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, has been indicted on tax evasion charges.

Castroneves was indicted along with a relative and an Ohio attorney, authorities said on Thursday.

Castroneves, who owns a mansion in Coral Gables, is charged with failing to pay more than five million dollars in taxes over a four-year period.

Castroneves' sister, Kali, and his lawyer, Alan Miller were also accused, and the three were expected to surrender to authorities and appear in court on Friday morning.

Castroneves, 33, won the Indianapolis 500 in 2001 and 2002, becoming the fifth man to achieve the feat in consecutive years.

He finished second to Penske teammate and countryman Gil de Ferran in 2003.

Castroneves attracted a new bunch of US fans last year when he won the fifth season of the reality television series "Dancing with the Stars."
