Will Shakira go to trial in Spain?

The highest judicial body of the province studied the case where the singer is accused of similarly not residing in the country and hiding income through a group of related companies based in tax havens, which amounts to just over 15 million dollars approximately.

This Thursday, May 26, 2022, it was confirmed that there is sufficient evidence to proceed as a result of the complaint that the Prosecutor’s Office filed against the interpreter of ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ for six crimes against the Spanish Treasury, for which there is sufficient evidence to proceed against her.

Shakira had already paid a large amount

Shakira paid 15.5 million euros that the Tax Agency of Estapaña demanded, plus another three million in interest, for an alleged tax fraud committed between 2012 and 2014, however, this will not prevent the Colombian from going to the court of the Prosecutor’s Office.
