Shakira Risks Prison if She Does Not Reach an Agreement With Barcelona Tax Authorities

Columbian singer, Shakira could find herself biting more than she can chew after choosing not to reach a plea bargain with the prosecutor’s office.

According to the President of the Union of Treasury Technicians, Carlos Cruzado, Shakira has been charged with tax offences. He revealed this while speaking on a late night talk show about the singer’s case.

“She runs a very great risk being charged with six tax offences, with the penalties that this could entail,” Cruzado said.

Could Shakira be Jailed?

Cruzado maintained that he was surprised that Shakira risked going to trial with a sentence that could land her in jail.

“It is very likely that before the trial she will reach an agreement, because most of her tax offences are aggravated and with penalties that could reach up to six years in prison for each of the offences,” Cruzado said.

If not, “it is very likely that she could find herself with problems,” he added.

On Wednesday it was reported that the Colombian singer rejected a deal offered by the Barcelona prosecutor’s office to avoid being tried for defrauding the tax authorities of 14.5 million euros and has decided to go on trial for tax fraud, as she is “fully confident” of her innocence, according to EFE.
