The artist, who previously denied tax fraud, changed his strategy to avoid the public exposure that a trial would have led to this point.
Singer Shakira decided to negotiate the debt of 14.5 million euros (82 million R $) in tax evasion in Spain. According to the newspaper Villagethe Colombian artist, who had previously denied the tax fraudchanged the strategy to avoid public exposure that a process would have led to this point.
One of the reasons would be the upset Shakira and Gerard Piqué broke up announced in early June, after 11 years of relationship. Among the reasons that would have led to the termination are the treacherous voices And Financial problems.
The artist’s lawyers try to negotiate an agreement with the Spanish prosecutor to avoid a trial and even the possibility of imprisonment. Already in May 2021 the Spanish justice had rejected the appeal of Shakira and found that there was sufficient evidence to prove the tax fraud between the years 2012 and 2014. The artist claims that she moved permanently to Spain only in 2015, when she began to pay taxes in the country, but from the documents presented in the lawsuit it appears that she already resided in the region of Catalonia in those years.
Also according to the publication, the expectation is that the Spanish prosecutor presents a formal indictment against Shakira before August.
