Shakira Faces Second Tax Evasion Charge in Spain, Owes $7.1M
Spanish prosecutors have charged pop star Shakira with failing to pay $7.1 million in tax on her 2018 income, alleging that she used an offshore company based in a tax haven to avoid payment. This is the latest fiscal allegation against the Colombian singer in Spain, as she is already due to be tried in Barcelona in November for allegedly failing to pay $15.4 million in tax between 2012-2014. Shakira's official residence during that period was in the Bahamas, but prosecutors claim she spent more than half of the time in Spain.
