THE Shakira faces new legal prosecutions in Spain over tax matters.

Prosecutors in Barcelona accuse her of failing to pay €6.7 million in taxes on her 2018 income.

In addition, a trial on another tax evasion case is scheduled for November 20.

In this case, Shakira is accused of using an offshore company in a tax “haven” to avoid paying taxes.

The singer has already been informed of the charges according to a statement issued by the public prosecutor’s office in Barcelona.

In this particular case, the central point concerns where Shakira lived from 2012-2014.

Prosecutors argue that, for at least half of that time, Shakira resided in Spain, and therefore should have paid taxes in that country, even though her official residence was in the Bahamas.

The investigation into the new case began in July, and after reviewing evidence gathered over the past two months, prosecutors decided to bring new charges against the singer. The trial has not yet been set.

The firm Llorente y Cuenca, which represents Shakira, said in July that the singer had always followed the law and the instructions of her financial advisers.

In recent years, Spanish tax authorities have focused on various athletes and celebrities, such as Messi and Ronaldo, who have been convicted of tax evasion.
