Singer Shakira Spotted in Miami with Her Sons After Tax Fraud Charges (Photos)

On Tuesday, August 2, Colombian singer Shakira was seen at a Miami airport with her sons, amid reports of potential eight years imprisonment for tax fraud.

The accusations suggest that she falsely claimed to be living abroad from 2012 to 2014 on tax documents while being a resident of Spain during that period, according to authorities in Spain.

Having relocated to Barcelona in 2011 to be with her ex-partner, Spanish footballer Gerard Pique, Shakira and Pique, who have two children together, parted ways earlier this year amid allegations of infidelity in local media.

Reportedly, Shakira is considering a permanent move to Miami to avoid potential jail time, as she was seen arriving at the city with her sons, Sasha (seven) and Milan (nine), after attending an LA Dodgers game in Los Angeles, California.

The 45-year-old superstar has reportedly repaid the alleged $15.5 million she evaded on Spanish taxes, along with over $3 million in interest.

A spokesperson for Shakira said, “Shakira has always cooperated and abided by the law, demonstrating impeccable conduct as an individual and a taxpayer, and faithfully following the counsel of PricewaterhouseCoopers, a prestigious and globally recognized tax firm.”
