Shakira Now Charged With Another Case Of Tax Evasion In Spain

Shakira has been charged with tax fraud in Spain, after failing to pay 6.7 million euros ($7.1 million) on her 2018 taxes. Prosecutors claim the singer, who currently lives in Miami, used an offshore account “based in a tax haven” to attempt to avoid paying. But this isn’t Shakira’s only tax problem. She’s already going to trial in Barcelona on November 20th for a separate case in which she allegedly failed to pay 14.5 million euros ($13.9 million) in taxes between 2012-2014. Shakira’s PR firm insisted in July that she had “always acted in concordance with the law and on the advice of her financial advisers,” adding: “(Shakira) is now focused on her artistic career in Miami and is calm and confident that she will receive a favorable resolution of her fiscal issues.”
