The singer Shakira assured “having always acted in accordance with the law and under the advice of the best tax experts” after learning that the Investigating Court 2 of Esplugues de Llobregat (Barcelona) opened a second case against the artist for two alleged crimes against the Treasury for personal income tax and the 2018 Wealth Tax as a result of a complaint by the Prosecutor’s Office.

In a statement, her defense indicated that for now she has not received formal notification of the complaint, but rather that she was known before by the media, which in her opinion shows “the media and reputational pressure to which she is subjected.”

In the same sense, she recalled that “as is publicly known, and as the Spanish Treasury was officially notified, Shakira has been living in Miami for a few months, so she must be notified personally at her new address.”

The singer’s defense has stated that Shakira is “focused on her artistic life in Miami and is calm and confident in the favorable resolution of her tax issues.” The singer has already been tax investigated and is awaiting trial, scheduled for November 20, for allegedly defrauding 14.5 million euros from the Treasury between 2012 and 2014.
