Pop singer Shakira has not reached an agreement with prosecutors and will go to trial for alleged tax evasion.

Colombian pop singer Shakira has not reached an agreement with the Prosecutor’s office and will go to trial in Spain insisting on her innocence, according to a statement released by her PR team.
In July 2021, a judge at a court near Barcelona ruled that the Colombian singer could stand trial for alleged tax evasion of 14.5 million euros ($17 million) in Spain. There is “sufficient evidence” to hold a trial for Shakira’s alleged tax evasion for the years of 2012, 2013 and 2014, the investigating magistrate said in a ruling, which CNN obtained.

Judge Marco Jesus Juberias argued that Shakira lived more than 200 days in Spain in each of those three years, making her liable to pay taxes in the country.
