According to Shakira, the authorities “violated her privacy” by addressing the matter so publicly. They also don’t factor in the possibility that she’s innocent. This is evident from the documents that the American ‘TMZ’ was able to view on Friday. Furthermore, the global star’s legal team also clarified why the charges against their client are unjustified. The Colombian was not an official resident of Spain during the relevant period. And according to Spanish law, the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer only has to pay taxes if she spends more than 183 days a year in Spanish territory.
In September, a Spanish judge ruled that Shakira must appear in court after failing to pay $13.9 million in taxes on the income she earned between 2012 and 2014. Shakira also faces a hefty fine of around $24 million. of dollars. The Colombian, in turn, does not share the accusations. He denies having lived full-time in Spain between 2012 and 2014. She also says she paid more than $10 million in taxes.
