Singer Shakira lands in court over alleged tax fraud
Popular Colombian singer,
Shakira has appeared in a Spanish court on Thursday to answer tax fraud
charges.
The prosecutors
accused her of failing to pay up to 14.5 million Euros ($16.29 million) in
taxes on income earned between 2012 and 2014.
Shakira arrived at
Esplugues de Llobregat Court near Barcelona in the morning, through the court’s
car park entrance, to avoid the media and was seen briefly through a window,
NAN reports.
Prosecutors filed
charges last December for the period they said Shakira was living in the region
of Catalonia but the singer’s representatives said she did not live in Spain
until 2015 and had met all her tax obligations.
The 42-year-old
singer and the FC Barcelona Defender, Gerard Pique, have been together since
2011 and they have two children.
Shakira had
appeared in court in May to face accusations of plagiarism for “La Bicicleta’’,
a song she played with Carlos Vives, though the lawsuit was dismissed after the
court ruled that they did not copy it.
