MADRID — A Spanish prosecutor has lodged a second tax claim against Colombian singer Shakira, accusing her of defrauding the state of 6.6 million euros in 2018, according to a request to the investigating court seen by Reuters on Tuesday .
In the new case, the prosecutor alleges that in 2018, Shakira failed to declare profits of US$12.5 million from an advance payment for her El Dorado World Tour, among others. Prosecutors argue that she was resident in Spain and so required to tax all her worldwide revenues there, no matter where they were earned. Instead, they say, she diverted money to "companies domiciled in countries with low taxation and high opacity".
She is also accused of defrauding the state of 773,600 euros in wealth tax, resulting in a debt of 625,190 euros.
