Spanish prosecutor asks for eight year jail term for Shakira

A Spanish prosecutor has asked for more than eight years in prison for Colombian superstar, Shakira, and a fine of more than 23-million euros over a 14.5 million euro tax fraud case, reports El Pais.

The prosecutor’s office and Shakira’s representatives were not immediately available for comment.

This week the pop star rejected a settlement offer from the prosecutor’s office to close a fraud case in which she is accused of failing to pay taxes between 2012 and 2014, a period in which Shakira says she did not live in Spain.
