Shakira, the famous musician, has finally commented about her tax matter after a year. She settled the legal dispute with Spanish authorities by paying $15 million. Shakira claims that this wasn’t what she did because she was bad, but rather to shield her kids.
Between 2012 and 2014, Shakira was charged with evading taxes in Spain. Although she claimed to be in the Bahamas, the authorities said she was living in Spain at the time.
Shakira has always insisted she is not guilty. To spare her kids from worry, she settled the case. She desires them to understand that she made this decision to keep them safe.
Shakira said in a public letter that the authorities were more concerned with discrediting her than they were with finding the truth. During that time, she claimed to have only travelled to Spain for a few days every year.
Shakira intends to move past this problem and concentrate on her work and family. She desires to leave her kids with a good legacy.
