Shakira charged with tax evasion

Spanish prosecutors have charged pop music star Shakira with tax evasion, alleging she failed to pay more than 14.5 million euros between 2012 and 2014. In charges filed on Friday they claimed that Shakira listed the Bahamas as her primary residence for tax purposes, when she was actually living in Barcelona with her family.

‘However, a source close to Shakira says that she is innocent and the prosecutors are using the case as a “smear campaign” against her, People.com reports. A judge will soon decide if there is enough evidence to bring Shakira’s case to court.
