The performer avoided paying taxes with the help of an offshore company registered in another country.
Spanish prosecutors have again accused Colombian singer Shakira of tax evasion. NBC News reported it.
In particular, the Barcelona prosecutor’s office said in a statement that the star did not pay 6.7 million euros ($7.1 million) from his income for 2018. At the same time, he used the services of an offshore company that registered abroad to avoid paying taxes.
The actress was informed of the charges while she was living in Miami in the United States.
Shakira is due to go on trial in Barcelona on November 20 in a separate case related to where she lived from 2012-14. In that case, prosecutors say he failed to pay 14.5 million euros ($15.4 million) in taxes.
Barcelona prosecutors argue that the Grammy winner spent more than half of the 2012-14 season in Spain and therefore has to pay taxes in the country, even though his official residence is in the Bahamas.
It was previously reported that Shakira, who split from footballer Gerard Pique in June, has opened up about how she went through a divorce.
