Shakira Faces Over 8 years In Prison Over Tax Fraud

Colombian pop sensation Shakira is facing her second tax evasion charge from the Spanish government. Spanish prosecutors claim that in 2018, she defrauded the state of €6.7 million ($7.1 million, £5.8 million) by failing to report substantial advance payments from her El Dorado World Tour and other earnings.

The new investigation, initiated in July 2023, was disclosed recently by Spanish prosecutors. Shakira, who now resides in Miami, is reportedly aware of the charges, although her legal team in Miami remains uninformed as of now. They are presently focused on preparing for her upcoming trial regarding fiscal years 2012-2014, scheduled to commence on November 20th, 2023.

The fresh allegations stem from Shakira’s residence in Barcelona with football star Gerard Pique in 2018, requiring her to declare all international income in Spain. However, prosecutors argue that she channeled her funds into entities located in low-tax and high-opacity jurisdictions.

Shakira is set to face trial in Barcelona this November, facing six separate charges related to alleged tax offenses. She vehemently denies these charges, asserting her confidence in having ample evidence to vindicate herself, as she expressed in a September interview with the Spanish edition of Elle magazine.
