A Spanish court has shoved an investigation into an alleged tax fraud

00:04

by the Colombian pop star,

00:05

Shakira. Shakira putting an end to her legal woes in the

00:09

country where she once lived.

00:11

So, Shakira was charged with tax fraud in September linked to

00:15

taxes filed on her 2018 comes,

00:18

she'd reportedly been accused of failing to pay about $7.2 million in

00:26

taxes that year by using an offshore company located in a tax

00:31

haven. I thought Shakira,

00:33

I thought your hips didn't lie,

00:34

girl, what's going on?

00:37

Oh, well, I mean,

00:39

I, I don't know.

00:40

I mean, I,

00:41

I, I've heard through the grapevine,

00:42

the Spanish government has been trying to finesse other celebrities.

00:47

So I don't know.

00:48

My girl probably isn't lying.

00:50

Who knows? Well,

00:51

yeah, it's funny because again,

00:52

they shelved the investigation.

00:53

It's like, no,

00:55

you know, anyway,

00:57

but still, Shakira maintained her innocence in her statement throughout my

01:02

career. I have always strived to do what's right and set

01:05

a positive example for others.

01:07

She said, see,

01:09

I knew her hips didn't like it put on you,

01:11

Shakira regardless if, if I'd rather finesse the government than the

01:16

government finesse me brother,

01:17

hey sister put that on the plaque because that's that's facts.

01:21

So get this sister.

01:23

The star also criticized tax authorities in Spain,

01:26

Spain. Oh my God.

01:29

The star also criticized tax authorities in Spain whom she claimed pursued

01:33

a case against me as they have against many professional athletes and

01:36

other high profile individuals drain those people's energy time and tranquility for

01:41

years at a time.

01:43

So you can be Shakira,

01:44

you can be messy messi get it.

01:47

But you know, a soccer player,

01:48

like if you have money,

01:49

they're looking, it's like,

01:50

mm let me investigate your ass.

01:52

You know, she's not entirely innocent or maybe,

01:56

I don't know, but Shakira reached an agreement with Spanish authorities

01:59

to resolve her big tax problem.

02:02

She got a three year suspended jail sentence and has to pay

02:06

a $7.5 million fine.

02:08

Emergency Shakira in jail.

02:10

Oh, hell no,

02:11

I would not like that.

02:13

I love this queen right there.

02:14

But I honestly too,

02:16

it's like she probably maybe even just paid it off because she's

02:19

like, dude, I don't want to deal with this,

02:20

you know, get your name out of my mouth.

02:22

Here's the money. Shut up.

02:24

I don't know. I'm still siding with my girl but if

02:28

she was found guilty,

02:29

she could have gone to jail for eight years.

02:32

Well, whenever we're ever secure,

02:35

am I right? Go next story.
