The famous Colombian musician is being accused by Spanish authorities for the second time. This comes after an earlier charge from 2019 that made her financial and legal situation even worse.

Fans all over the world are very worried about Shakira’s image, both in her personal life and in her career, because of this latest event.

In 2019, the Hips Don’t Lie diva was accused of not paying taxes in Spain, where she lives with Gerard Piqué, a soccer player for FC Barcelona, and their two children.

The Spanish Tax Office says that Shakira avoided paying a lot of taxes between 2012 and 2014 by saying she lived in the Bahamas when she didn’t.

This led to a big investigation into her finances, which hurt her image and put a close eye on her money.

A little more than two years later, the Colombian singer is again linked to the crime.

This time, Spanish officials think she stole about €14.5 million ($17.2 million) in taxes from the country between 2015 and 2018.

Shakira is said to have been hiding the fact that she lived in Spain during this time, even though she spent a lot of time there, as her many public appearances, shows, and social media posts show.

Shakira’s lawyers quickly responded to the new accusations by saying that she was innocent and had always followed Spanish tax rules.

Her defense said that her residency status was made clear during the 2019 investigation, which is why no official charges were brought.

But the fact that the Spanish Tax Office is still looking into it shows that there is a debate that needs to be settled in court.
