A Spanish judge has ordered pop star Shakira to stand trial for allegedly failing to pay $13.9 million in taxes on income that she earned between 2012 and 2014.
Prosecutors will seek an eight-year prison sentence and a stiff fine if they manage to win a conviction for the “Hips Don’t Lie” singer, who has denied any wrongdoing.
The 45-year-old performer has insisted that she only lived less than half of the time in Spain during the two-year period. She has rejected a plea agreement with prosecutors that would have spared her a trial.
Her public relations firm has said that she has already paid all that she owed and an additional 3 million euros — or $2.
