A South African newspaper says Oscar Pistorius has been fined for unpaid taxes after having to declare his assets in court during his bail hearing.
The City Press newspaper reports Sunday that the South African Revenue Service audited and fined the double-amputee runner "less than one million rand" (under $105,000), which he paid.
The Olympian is charged with premeditated murder for the Valentine's Day shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp at his upscale house in Pretoria in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14.
