Shakira accused of tax evasion: 8 years in prison required against the singer!

On the heart side, things are not terrible at the moment for Shakira, who announced her split from Gerard Pique just two months ago. On the career side, the Colombian singer is a hit with her title Don’t you worry – with the Black Eyed Peas and David Guetta -, of course, but all this will not be enough to make him smile completely. The artist is at great risk, at the moment, for a case that dates back to 2011. She is actually accused of owing 14.5 million dollars to the Spanish tax authorities.

She is confident that justice will prove her right

Following her separation from Gerard Pique, Shakira plans to leave Spain to settle with her children in Miami, Florida. It may be necessary to settle, before that, his problems with justice. The interpreter of Whenever wherever refused to seal an agreement with the prosecution and assured that he wanted to go to trial, being “confident that justice will prove him right“. Except that this Friday, July 29, 2022, the Spanish public prosecutor’s office requested more than 8 years in prison.

As a reminder, Shakira had been living in Spain since 2011, since her companion Gerard Piqué plays for FC Barcelona and she had joined him. However, she had maintained her tax residence in the tax haven of the Bahamas until 2015. In her defense, the lawyers highlight the fact that Shakira’s income came from her international tours until 2014, but also the fact that she did not live more than 6 months a year in Spain.

It is to be hoped that these arguments are sufficient: the mother of Milan, 9 years old and Sasha, 7 years old, obtained custody of her children but will have, in exchange, to finance five trips a year, in first class, so that Gerard Piqué can visit their sons. She will also have to pay off the footballer’s debts, namely 20% of the 2 million dollars he borrowed. That’s starting to do a lot for a single bank account, even when your name is Shakira…
