Actress Michele Williams' father has won a major battle in his current legal struggles and will not be extradited from Australia to the United States to face tax evasion charges. Larry Williams was arrested in Sydney in May 2007 and accused of tax evasion by the IRS. He's accused of attempting to avoid paying more than $1.5 million in taxes between 1999 and 2001. Yesterday, Williams was able to convince a full bench of the Federal Court in Sydney that the notice issued which authorized a magistrate to rule on his extradition was invalid. Government lawyers are expected to appeal the ruling.
