Colombian star Shakira, who is scheduled to go on trial in Spain in November on charges of tax fraud, has been charged with a new charge by the Public Prosecution of evading the payment of taxes worth 6 million euros, according to judicial documents published yesterday, Tuesday.
This measure, launched by a judge in a court on the outskirts of Barcelona, was announced on July 20 without revealing the details of the accusation, especially the extent of the fraud.
The matter concerns alleged irregularities in the 2018 income and wealth tax returns of the singer, who currently resides in Miami.
The prosecution, which accuses the “Waka Waka” singer of using companies registered in tax havens to avoid paying the full tax that year, estimates the size of the fraud at a total of 6.6 million euros once late payment interest and settlement fees are added.
