Shakira
A court in Spain on Thursday dismissed Colombian singer Shakira's appeal in a tax fraud case.
The case will now go to trial after a judge previously concluded there was enough evidence to suggest the pop singer may have avoided her fiscal obligations to the state.
The case first made headlines in December 2018 after Spanish prosecutors charged the singer with failing to pay US$15.5 million in taxes on income earned from 2012 to 2014.
The legal wrangling surrounds Shakira's residence, as prosecutors allege she lived mostly in Spain despite having an official residence in the Bahamas.
The Hips Don't Lie singer is accused of bailing on taxes, claiming her stay in Spain is less than the six months required by tax law.
The singer faces a possible fine and a prison sentence, if found guilty of tax evasion.
