Public prosecutor charges Shakira with tax evasion

Colom­bian pop star Shakira has been charged with tax eva­sion by Barcelona pros­e­cu­tors. Yes­ter­day, pros­e­cu­tors al­leged she failed to pay more than €14.5 m in taxes be­tween 2012 and 2014. While Shakira had listed the tax haven of Ba­hamas as her of­fi­cial res­i­dence dur­ing those years, she was ac­tu­ally liv­ing in Spain with her part­ner, FC Barcelona player Ger­ard Piqué, with whom she has two chil­dren. The pros­e­cu­tion al­leges she briefly trav­elled abroad for pro­fes­sional com­mit­ments, but lived most of the time in Spain.
