Argentine SPORTS ILLUSTRATED swimsuit model Valeria Mazza may soon be the most popular prisoner in Argentina after getting popped for tax evasion in her home country.
(Three words: Body. Cavity. Search.)
MACHOCHIP reports Mazza and her husband Alexander Gravier “owe over 1.6 million Euros to the government for a combination of unpaid taxes and shady dealings. Not only didn’t they pay the taxes, they hired six people to perform services they never did to launder money through.”
So how did the Argentinean government catch up to Mazza’s shell game?
Apparently the model, who is still a big celeb in South America, led a lavish lifestyle while reporting paltry earnings to the government.
I’m guessing stateside prisoners are rooting for the same fate to befall SI Swimsuit model couple Brooklyn Decker and Andy Roddick. They’d be a helluva a trade for a pack of Marlboro Lights:

I'm immediately applying to become an Argentinian prison guard.
3:59 pm on November 4th, 2008
Whichever prison official gets to do the cavity search will be the happiest man in all South America.
4:01 pm on November 4th, 2008
Valeria certainly is an arresting beauty.
4:09 pm on November 4th, 2008
You have the right to remain hot. Anything you say can and will be held against your beautifully curved body.
4:11 pm on November 4th, 2008
This will be the best Cinemax women-in-prison movie ever!!!!
4:14 pm on November 4th, 2008
Expect the crime rate in Argenitna to skyrocket, just to get the chance to be in the same slammer with Valeria.
4:22 pm on November 4th, 2008
How can someone that hot be that law-breaking?
4:27 pm on November 4th, 2008
I'd launder her money, but only if I could launder her bikinis, too.
4:30 pm on November 4th, 2008
Now Valeria will have the chance to personally sign all those posters of her hanging in all the immates' cells.
4:35 pm on November 4th, 2008
Couldn't she just be sentenced to home confinement? Preferably my home.
5:02 pm on November 4th, 2008
Will her prison's laundry service need any extra help? I'm volunteering to personally take care of Valeria's jumpsuit.
5:07 pm on November 4th, 2008
Sounds like an interesting locale for her next SI shoot - Valeria Behind Bars!
5:15 pm on November 4th, 2008
Argentina is on the Euro? Who knew?
5:48 pm on November 4th, 2008
She's a cinch to win the prison beauty pageant.
5:50 pm on November 4th, 2008
Valeria won't need to trade for jail cigarettes, because she's already smokin'!
6:29 pm on November 4th, 2008
Hurricane Ike:
I'm all for anything featuring Valeria's behind!
6:46 pm on November 4th, 2008
Maybe Valeria can try to work on some kind of plea bargain. Such as a private one-on-one photo shoot with the presiding judge.
7:35 pm on November 4th, 2008
Can't Sports Illustrated post her bail?
7:38 pm on November 4th, 2008
Wonder if her mugshot was airbrushed.
7:49 pm on November 4th, 2008
Is she still hiring people to perform personal services for her? I'll take personal bikini waxer.
7:57 pm on November 4th, 2008
Any way to throw just Roddick into jail? I'll be happy to keep Brooklyn company until he gets out.
8:03 pm on November 4th, 2008
Yeah, she's hot and all, but there are plenty of law-abiding swimsuit babes to ogle, too.
8:25 pm on November 4th, 2008
Valeria shouldn't have to do any jail time. A simple spanking over my knee should suffice.
8:50 pm on November 4th, 2008
I'd better bring in all the other SI swimsuit models for questioning.
9:21 pm on November 4th, 2008
Maybe she'll get out early for good behavior - or get our even earlier for naughty behavior.
5:24 pm on November 5th, 2008
Don't hate her because she's beautiful.
Hate her because she's stealing your money.
7:34 pm on November 5th, 2008
Mama mia Mazza!
7:48 pm on November 5th, 2008
How can someone who looks so sweet be so sour toward obeying the law?
6:10 pm on November 8th, 2008
That Brooklyn Decker pic would be perfect, if it wasn't for the inset of a shirtless Roddick.
