This is truly unexpected news… Shakira has agreed to make a deal with Spanish authorities in a tax evasion case. She now faces three years probation and a fine of seven million euros.
The thing is that the Spanish authorities accused the star of not paying income tax of 14.5 million euros from 2012 to 2014. If convicted, Shakira would face up to eight years in prison and a fine of up to 26 million euros. Looking at these numbers, the agreed deal doesn’t seem so scary anymore…
PEOPLE reported that the star admitted her guilt and did so for the sake of her children. “I have finally decided to close this matter in the interests of my children, who do not want their mother to sacrifice her personal well-being in this struggle. Throughout my career, I have always tried to do the right thing and set a positive example for others. This also applies to my financial decisions; That’s why I’ve always sought advice from the world’s leading tax advisors. “Despite this, the Spanish tax authorities have wasted their energy, time and nerves for years by filing lawsuits against me, many professional athletes and other celebrities,” he said.
