Shakira slammed with second tax fraud inquiry while facing potential prison time for previous charges
Fox News
Shakira is being investigated in Spain for an additional two potential cases of tax fraud after previously rejecting a plea deal and opting to go to court in fraud charges from 2012-2014.
Shakira was previously offered a settlement agreement in that case, but rejected it, opting to go to trial. A date has yet to be set for that case, although prosecutors in Spain are requesting Shakira be sentenced to eight years and two months in prison and pay a fine of 24 million Euros ($24 million).
