Shakira likely to face 8-year jail term in Spain for alleged tax fraud of 14.5 million Euros: Reports

Global singing star Shakira has landed amid controversy of an alleged tax fraud and is likely to face 8-year jail term in Spain. Prosecutors in Barcelona have reportedly accused the singer of defrauding the Spanish tax office out of 14.5 million Euros on income earned between 2012 and 2014. However, Shakira through a PR statement said that she is absolutely certain of her innocence and will leave the issue in the hands of the law. Reports also stated that the prosecutors claimed Shakira moved to Spain in 2011 but maintained official tax residency in the Bahamas until 2015. But Shakira, on the other hand, has said that she has already paid all her dues to the Spanish Tax authorities and has ‘no debt to the Treasury for many years.’ Next, the court will decide on holding a trial and set a date.
