The law for all is the same! Shakir was suspected of evading taxes. We are talking about an amount exceeding tens of millions of euros ...
Sweet-hearted swindler?

According to the data available to officials, the actress shied away from paying mandatory income tax to the budget from 2011 to 2014. In the event that the fault of the mother of two young children is proved, in addition to a large fine, she faces up to two years of imprisonment.
Now, the responsible persons in the prosecutor's office must decide whether they agree with the findings of the tax agency and, if the answer is "yes", begin a formal trial.
The reason for the sensation

By law, being there more than 183 days a year, the singer was already a resident and had to pay tax from all her income to the Spanish budget. However, Shakira entered the tax account and began to make deductions only in 2014.
The exact amount of debt celebrity is not announced. As it was possible to scout journalists, it is about millions of euros.
