Singer Shakira accused of massive fraud in Spain: Report

At least according to numerous prosecutors who have apparently gathered enough evidence in the case. Spanish prosecutors say that Shakira, one of the most famous Spanish singers in the world,  has evaded legal taxes in Spain since at least 2012.

Feds say that Shakira  evaded taxes particularly through the years 2012-2015. Documents  show that Shakira apparently claimed to the government that she formally resided in the Bahamas (a known tax haven) instead of Spain. When in reality, uh, she actually lived in Spain with her children and husband Gerard Pique.

The Spanish government, as a result, has ordered Shakira to pay more than $21M (USD) in bonds and taxes back to the government.  Reps for Shakira declined to comment to at least four other outlets, including, this one (although we’ve reached out again as of Friday afternoon).
