Shakira facing up to eight years in prison for alleged tax fraud

Popstar Shakira could spend up to eight years behind bars for alleged tax fraud.

The singer is accused of failing to pay more than $21 million in taxes to the Spanish government between 2012 to 2014.

She has rejected a plea deal – claiming she did not live in the country at the time of the alleged offence.

It sucks when you have mansions in so many countries that you can't keep track of where you were living at a time

[ParaNoid]

The only time these people are held responsible for their actions is over taxes... Amazing.

She faces up to 8 years in prison but won’t do a day, we all know it.

Spain: Where did you live during the time period in question?
Shakira: Wherever, Whenever.

…and I’m over here stressing out about a $100 payment being missed.

Nothing will happen to her other than paying her tax bill plus a penalty, and then issuing an apology.

Doesn’t she know only politicians and billionaires get away with this

I thought celebrities were immune to the rules the rest of us mere mortals have to abide by. Oh well, I guess SHE thought so as well.🤣

She is not going to prison. She’ll pay a judge off and that will be the end of it

[trumpetmusic]

You can go to prison for tax fraud? Do ANY millionaires and billionaires know about this?
Maybe they just call it "donating to charity" and "investing their money".

Whenever, wherever, irs is there forever.

I was a flight attendant and she was the worst passenger I ever had on a flight. I'm so happy about this!

[buzzyduder]

[baigandinel]

Q. So when are you going to pay your taxes?
A. Whenever! Wherever!

[SonOfPhoenicia]

Kinda odd that it came up again with all the problems she has with her husband who happens to be somewhat powerful.

[danedudlicek]

Her hips don't lie but her books do

Times are hard when you trying to tax people that don’t live in your country lol

"THE ELITE " don't get prosecution (unfortunately enough)🤮

Apparently the "hips don't lie" and neither does the IRS audit!
