Pop Superstar Shakira has been summoned to answer to charges of evading 14.5 million euros in taxes and six counts of fraud in a Spanish court on June 12.
If found guilty, she faces fines and a possible jail sentence.
The case focuses on the years 2012-2014, when Shakira was allegedly already living in Barcelona with her husband, soccer player Gerard Piqué. If that proves to be true, in accordance with federal regulations, prosecutors contend she was therefore required to pay taxes on all of her worldwide income to the Spanish tax authority.
But Shakira and her representatives have said that during those years she was still a resident of the Bahamas, where she had bought a house with her former boyfriend Antonio de la Rúa in 2004.
She legally changed her residency to Spain in 2015, but now that date is under scrutiny.
