Shakira refuses settlement with Spanish justice | Stars

entertainment">The Spanish tax authorities have already offered a settlement, but Shakira does not pay a cent. According to the prosecutors, the wealthy singer with a network of at least fourteen companies has hidden income from the Spanish tax authorities. She is said to have spent more than half of every year in Spain during the years 2012-2014. Shakira’s lawyers say she lived in the Bahamas and only moved to Spain in 2015. Since 2011, she had a relationship with the Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué, who is from Barcelona and who plays for FC Barcelona. They have two children. According to prosecutors, Shakira once bought a house in the Bahamas, but did not spend a day there in the 2012-2014 tax years.

entertainment">Shakira’s relationship with Piqué has recently broken down and the tax issue is no longer the only legal issue for Shakira in Spain. She is currently working on a divorce. Both have indicated that they want to settle this on good terms in the interest of the children, as much as possible without publicity. According to Spanish media, Shakira wants, among other things, the custody of the children and move to Miami with the offspring. She would then bear all the costs of raising the children and pay her ex at least five first-class round-trip flights to Miami a year.
