Hollywood actor Wesley Snipes, wanted in the US on tax fraud charges, is on a movie set in Namibia, according to film officials in the African country. Edwin Kanguatjivi, chief executive officer of the Namibia Film Commission, told Reuters news agency that Mr Snipes had been in the country since August. Namibia has no extradition treaty with the US. Mr Snipes is accused of failing to file tax returns and falsely claiming nearly $12m in refunds. A US arrest warrant was issued for the star earlier this week, and prosecutors said he faces up to 16 years in jail if found guilty. The Namibia Film Commission said he was working on the set of Gallowwalker, in the Namibian desert, according to Reuters.
