At least her hips can testify without perjuring themselves.

Phil: Shakira could be going to jail!

Me: Shakira Shakira?! 🤯

[SamHill]

This is so common in Spain, the footballers do it too, just evade your taxes and hope you dont get caught. If you do then you can pay to not go to jail in Spain for crimes like these - more or less

[MrNerdosaurus]

She could be arrested? When? Where?
Whenever, wherever.

[larpdude]

Once again asking that the subtitles be raised above the title so they can be read.

[Akuzastar]

She's famous, still holds that fame even more so since her split from pique.
She won't do jail time.

[Rushinator]

This is an argument over whether she spent 180+ days in Spain, which would make her liable to pay taxes and their tax agency doesn’t have a great history in doing this as they actually lose 50% of their cases. Shakira is probably confident she can prove that she spent less than 180 days in Spain.

Shakira to taxes: can’t remember to forget you.

[someoneoncesaid]

From a time period about a decade ago, when she was staying with her boyfriend in Spain but wasn't a citizen of Spain. And, they're suing her for income she made while on tour in _other countries_ and not income she made in Spain (which she did pay taxes on). It'd be like the IRS suing Harry Styles for income he made on a European tour because he happened to be shacked up with a girlfriend in the US.

[SagaMediaNet]

Unlikely following fellow law tubers she has the outstanding taxes In an allocated account pending the decision of the case. Her argues that she rarely stayed any significant time in Spain so believed to not needing to pay the requested amount

[somethingsinlife]

Ofcourse she evaded Taxes...It's basically a requirement for rich people. The only question is who gets away with it.

[hrpineda]

Celebrities often have someone or a team handling their finances. Could be a situation like Dane Cook’s brother. Just seems odd that she wouldn’t just pay her taxes

[FluttershyIsAGoddess]

I feel like she can pay this off instantly. lol

[rosesophieblack]

I thought she’s Colombian?
Usually you pay your taxes in the country you live in, honestly I don’t know where she lives.
I’m Polish, but I live and work in England and that’s where I pay my taxes.
I think she’d have to spend like 180+ days in Spain to be obligated to pay taxes there, which I really don’t know if she did. I always thought she lives either in the US or Colombia 😅

[panini]

At most she get a suspended sentence This is a common thing in Spain where they get threatened with jail time for tax evasion and forced to pay more to avoid jail time

[Victory]

There's a big difference between "tax evasion" and tax fraud.

[hmoham]

I feel like every big earning superstar in Spain at some point or another get accused of tax evasion and get threatened with Jail time.

@PHIL Can you cover China's ongoing protests and revolts in the housing crisis going on right now? The CCP are suppressing the topic widely in the country and on YouTube. Major housing developers are missing debt payments and homebuyers across around 100 cities and 300+ projects are refusing to pay their mortgages

[artiegatsby]

17mil over 3 years? Taxes are a fucking scam in every country, I guess.
