Spain prosecutors call for eight-year sentence for Shakira

BARCELONA – Prosecutors in Barcelona said Friday that they would seek a prison sentence of more than eight years against global music superstar Shakira, after she rejected a plea deal on accusations of tax fraud.

The court will now need to decide on holding a trial and set a date. Prosecutors accuse the 45-year-old Hips don't Lie songstress of defrauding the Spanish tax office out of 14.5 million euros (about RM69.9 million) on income earned between 2012 and 2014. – AFP, July 29, 2022
