Has Shakira Been Ordered During the trial against Shakira for tax fraud, the prosecutors in Barcelona stated in July that they would seek a prison sentence for Shakira that was greater than eight years? According to court records released on Tuesday, a Spanish judge has ordered Colombian music diva Shakira to appear in court in connection with a tax fraud case at a date that has not yet been decided.
After the singer rejected a plea offer that would have resolved allegations of tax evasion, prosecutors in Barcelona said in July that they will seek a prison sentence of more than eight years against the singer as well as a fine of about 24 million euros ($24 million). They accuse the 45-year-old “Hips don’t Lie” vocalist of cheating the Spanish tax office out of 14.5 million euros ($14.7 million) on revenue received between the years 2012 and 2014.
According to the prosecution, Shakira relocated to Spain in 2011, after it became known that she was having an affair with Gerard Pique, a defender for FC Barcelona; yet, she kept her formal tax residency in the Bahamas until 2015. In June, the couple shared their decision to end their relationship with their two children.
According to a court judgment that was made public on Tuesday, the singer was ordered by a court in Barcelona to appear in court on September 19 to face six tax-related offenses. In an interview that was published in the most recent issue of Elle magazine, Shakira stated that she was certain she had acted appropriately and that she did not owe the Spanish tax office any money.
“These accusations are false,” she said. Authorities said that one person who was tried in connection with the shooting and robbery of Lady Gaga’s Dog Walker In Los Angeles was given a four-year prison sentence.
“While Gerard and I were dating, I was on a world tour. I spent more than 240 days outside Spain, so there was no way I qualified as a resident,” she added. “The Spanish tax authorities saw that I was dating a Spanish citizen and started to salivate. It’s clear they wanted to go after that money no matter what.”
The majority of Shakira’s income up until 2014 came from overseas tours, and she did not relocate to Spain permanently until 2015. Her legal team claims that she has satisfied all of her financial commitments to the Spanish government in regard to taxes. The singer claims that she has settled all of her financial obligations to the Spanish government, which totaled 17.2 million euros.
She claims that Spanish prosecutors are attempting to seize the money she made from her participation in “The Voice” as well as from her foreign tour in order to get their hands on it. She claims that she was not yet a resident of Spain when she worked as a judge on the show that aired in the United States.
The reception to The First On-screen Homosexual Kiss in a Disney film has been overwhelmingly positive. We had hoped that Frozen would address the homosexual community, and some have suggested that the title song, “Let It Go,” sung by the ice princess, does just that.
In May, a court in Barcelona rejected the singer’s request to discharge the accusations after hearing his appeal. In October 2021, a collection of leaked financial records known as the “Pandora Papers” mentioned Shakira as one of the public figures who was linked to offshore holdings. The leak was the largest ever of financial documents.
