A Spanish judge has recommended that Colombian pop star Shakira go to trial on allegations of tax evasion in Spain. Shakira was charged in December 2019 with not paying 14.5 million euros ($16.4 million) in taxes in Spain between 2012 and 2014. During that time, she lived mostly in Spain, although her official residence was in Panama. She faces a fine and even possible jail time if found guilty.
