Judge Orders Shakira To Stand Trial In Spain For Tax Fraud As Prosecutors Seek An Eight-Year Prison Sentence
Meanwhile, Shakira’s public relations firm maintains she has already paid off all of the back tax debt, alongside an additional 3 million euros, or $2.8 million USD, in interest.
No trial date has been scheduled as of yet.
The case depends on where Shakira lived between 2012 and 2014, with prosecutors in Barcelona claiming the she spent more than half of that timeframe in Spain and was on the hook to pay taxes in the country.
The allegations come despite the face that her official residence was in the Bahamas.
The Grammy winner had been linked to the European country after she began dating soccer player Gerard Piqué back in 2010.
The couple, who share two children together, broke up this year after being together for over a decade in what has been quite a messy separation.
