Colombian singer Shakira has been charged with tax evasion and owing around $16.3 million by Spanish prosecutors
Singer Shakira has been charged by Spanish prosecutors with tax evasion for allegedly owing an estimated $16.3 million. The 41-year-old Colombian singer supposedly failed to pay around $16.3 million between 2012 and 2014.
The charges state that Shakira had listed the Bahamas as her primary residence for tax purposes even though she lived in Barcelona with her partner Gerard Pique and their two young children — 5-year-old Milan and 3-year-old Sasha. However, a source close to Shakira shares that the singer is maintaining her innocence.
