Music icon Shakira will stand trial in a Spanish court over allegations of tax fraud

Columbian music sensation Shakira will stand trial court over allegations of tax fraud, which amount to €14.5m.

Spanish prosecutors are seeking jail time and a nearly €24 million in damages if the 45-year-old singer is found guilty.

The singer allegedly evaded €14.5 million in tax but is denying any wrongdoing.

“I am confident that I have enough proof to support my case and that justice will prevail in my favour,” she recently tole Elle magazine.

She will stand trial for her involvement in six alleged tax crimes but a court date has not been set.

Her legal team said they will be “presenting arguments at the appropriate time”.

Shakira had previously rejected a deal offered by prosecutors, instead opting to go to trial.

Spanish law states people are considered residents for tax purposes if they spend more than six months living in the country.

Prosecutors claim Shakira bought a property in Barcelona 10 years ago in which she lived at the time.

However, the artist said she has not lived in Spain for such a period of time.
