Shakira,
the
global
music
star
is
now
making
headlines
for
all
the
wrong
reasons.
As
per
the
latest
updates,
the
Spanish
prosecutors,
on
Friday
(July
29,
2022),
confirmed
that
they
would
seek
an
8-year
prison
term
and
a
fine
of
$23
Million
for
Shakira.
The
prosecutors
decided
to
make
this
move
after
she
rejected
the
plea
deal
on
accusations
of
tax
invasion.
According
to
the
prosecutor's
official
document
published
by
The
Reuters,
the
prosecutors
are
planning
to
seek
8
years
imprisonment
for
Shakira,
for
an
alleged
14.5
Million
euros
tax
fraud
case,
accused
of
defrauding
the
Spain
government.
If
proven
guilty,
the
'Hips
Don't
Lie'
star
will
also
have
to
pay
a
fine
of
over
23
Million
euros,
which
is
around
$
23.5
Million.
The
prosecutors
reportedly
took
this
shocking
decision
after
Shakira
rejected
the
plea
deal
to
settle
the
case
on
Wednesday
(July
27,
2022).
The
Global
icon's
spokesperson
stated
that
she
is
fully
confident
of
her
innocence,
and
considered
the
tax
invasion
case
as
a
total
violation
of
her
rights.
Shakira's
lawyers
also
added
that
an
agreement
is
possible
until
the
start
of
the
trial.
To
the
unversed,
Shakira
moved
to
Spain
in
2011
after
her
relationship
with
FC
Barcelona
defender
Gerard
Pique
became
public.
But
she
had
maintained
a
tax
residency
in
the
Bahamas
till
2015.
The
couple,
who
have
two
children
together,
had
officially
announced
their
separation
in
June
this
year.
