BARCELONA — Shakira is to stand trial in Barcelona on Monday to face charges that she failed to pay €14.5 million ($15.74 million) in Spanish income tax between 2012 and 2014.
The “Hips Don’t Lie” Colombian megastar, who also has a second tax fraud investigation pending with Spanish authorities, has vowed to fight what she called false accusations.
Shakira says she had paid what the tax office said was owed before it filed a lawsuit, and insists she was not living in Spain during the period as her work led to a “nomadic life.”
