A Spanish judge on Tuesday approved a trial for Colombian pop singer Shakira on charges of tax fraud.

They were found guilty of evasion but both avoided prison time thanks to a provision that allows a judge to waive sentences under two years in length for first-time offenders. The court based in the town of Esplugues de Llobregat near Barcelona said that Shakira will face six counts of tax fraud.

A Barcelona court has ordered Colombian music superstar Shakira to stand trial for six counts of alleged of tax fraud.

In 2015, Shakira declared Spain to be her place of residence for tax purposes and has said she paid 17.2 million euros ($16.4 million) in taxes and has no outstanding debts, She further told Elle, “The tax authorities saw that I was dating a Spanish citizen and began to salivate.

This past summer, it was [reported](https://deadline.com/2022/07/shakira-spain-tax-evasion-1235081615/) that the Grammy winner was potentially facing an eight-year prison sentence and a fine of 23.8 million euros ($22.7 million) if found guilty. In July, the prosecutor’s office alleged Shakira was “ordinarily resident in Spain between 2012 and 2014 and in May 2012 bought a house in Barcelona.” That home, officials contend, was for not just the singer, but then partner Gerard Piqué, who plays for FC Barcelona, and their son, who was born in Spain in 2013. Under Spanish law, people who spend more than six months per year in the country are considered residents for tax purposes.

Representatives for Shakira told [People](https://people.com/music/shakira-charged-tax-evasion-spain/) that the singer owed nothing to Spanish tax authorities, arguing that she had paid what she owed in full and that the prosecutor was spearheading a “smear campaign” and using Shakira as a “scapegoat” to frighten other taxpayers. Representatives for the singer told Reuters in July the singer is “fully confident of her innocence” and finds the case to be “a total violation of her rights.” In her September Elle interview, Shakira said she “owed zero” to the Spanish government and that there was “no way” she qualified as a resident during the period in question, adding that she had “paid everything” she owed before a lawsuit had ever been filed. “I’m confident I have enough proof to support my case, and that justice will prevail in my favor,” the singer told the outlet, adding that she had elected to go to trial to “fight for what I believe.” A trial start date has yet to be set. Central to her case was the question of where she lived between 2012 and 2014: While the singer denied living in Spain during that time, officially listing her residence as the Bahamas, Spanish prosecutors insisted she was claiming the Bahamas for tax purposes (tax rates are significantly lower in the Bahamas, where Shakira bought a private island in 2011). For her part, Shakira addressed the allegations in a recent [Elle](https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a41296977/shakira-elle-digital-cover-october-2022/) interview, calling them “false accusations.” “I was confident that I was doing things correctly and transparently from day one,” said the singer, who called the government’s claims “fictional” and said it was its “style” to unfairly come after celebrities and regular taxpayers in order to force settlements. (The charges arrived nearly a year after Shakira was named in the 2017 [Paradise Papers](https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/08/harvey-weinstein-shakira-martha-stewart-madonna-nicole-kidman-offshore), a sprawling investigation into the ways the rich and famous legally hide money offshore).
