Shakira è apparsa giovedì davanti a un giudice istruttore nel nord-est della Spagna perché accusata di sei reati di frode fiscale.
Il tribunale sospetta che la cantante colombiana, tra il 2012 e il 2014, non abbia pagato 14,5 milioni di euro di imposte. Secondo l’accusa, Shakira vivrebbe in Catalogna dal 2011 – e sarebbe quindi sottoposta alle leggi spagnole – ma avrebbe mantenuto la sua residenza fiscale alle Bahamas fino al 2015.
La difesa sostiene invece che la popstar non abbia mai vissuto per più di sei mesi in Spagna, condizione necessaria per stabilire la residenza fiscale nel paese. “Durante la sua carriera, Shakira ha vissuto in svariati luoghi - ha dichiarato il team di avvocati della cantante - ma ha sempre adempiuto ai suoi obblighi fiscali e ha sempre rispettato le leggi di tutte le giurisdizioni in cui ha risieduto".
