Singer SHAKIRA pays another £5.7million to a Spanish court investigating her for unpaid taxes days after agreeing to pay £6.4million fine in a separate case
Monday, November 27, 2023 – Pop singer, Shakira has reportedly handed over more than £5.5 million to a court investigating her over another alleged tax fraud.
The £5.7 million deposit covers the £5.3 million prosecutors claim she evaded plus an interest payment.
The Colombian artist will continue to be investigated over the suspected 2018 tax breaches.
This criminal probe was launched ahead of her admission at the start of last week in a separate case to six counts of tax fraud totalling £12.7 million she committed in 2012, 2013 and 2014.
But if the ongoing criminal investigation leads to a new trial, her settlement of her tax debt is likely to lead to a more lenient eventual sentence, according to respected Catalan newspaper El Periodico.
Officials confirmed in July Shakira was being probed over suspected 2018 tax breaches.
