The Spanish government is charging the Colombian pop star with tax evasion. This is Shakira’s second time being charged with tax fraud.

Prosecutors in Spain alleged the singer owned the state €6.7m ($7.1m) in tax money in 2018 when she failed to declare millions in advance payments for El Dorado World Tour among other payments. The second investigation was opened in July, but details were released yesterday.

According to authorities, the pop star allegedly used an offshore company to avoid paying taxes.
