Shakira rips into Spanish authorities over 'unacceptable' tax fraud accusations

Shakira has said she felt ‘violated’ by the Spanish tax authorities after being accused of a £12million fraud.

Shakira, 45, said: ‘It is unacceptable that, in its accusation, the tax authorities are not respecting the legal certainty that must be guaranteed to any taxpayer, not my fundamental rights. She added unorthodox methods were used by the Spanish Treasury in their investigation against her, such as requesting private data from hospitals where the singer requested an appointment, and said their case was part of a ‘contrived story.’

The singer, who shares sons Milan, nine, and Sasha, seven with her former footballer ex Gerard Piqué, 35, has already paid a six-figure sum with interest the Spanish taxman claims she defrauded.
