The star has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing
Popstar Shakira is to stand trial over tax fraud charges. The Colombian singer has been accused by Spanish prosecutors of failing to pay 14.5 million euros in taxes on income earned between 2012 and 2014.
Her public relations firm says she has already paid all that she owed and an additional three million euros in interest. The date for the trial has yet to be set. The case hinges on where Shakira lived during 2012 and 2014. Prosecutors in Barcelona have alleged the Grammy winner spent more than half of that period in Spain and should have paid taxes in the country, even though her official residence was in the Bahamas.
